Would 300V be suitable alternative to X-cess for a motor driven hard (autoX, hill country sprints, etc) but not racing?
Don't do if you are not heavily tracking or racing car. 300V is exceptional oil. But has two "problems:"
1. It is heavily ester based. Which means it will oxidize more than usual. Not necessarily problem as Motul is good in curbing oxidation in 300V, but still, you want maybe to do several UOA, one at 3K and one at 5k if you decide to use it. Order TAN measurement!
2. Additives are specific racing additives. Not really well suited oil for hard driving on street.
Good LL01 or if out of warranty, Castrol Edge 0W40 will be much better choice.
