Also, Alex you have no idea that your engine would have blown if you had put motul v300 in there over another oil because there is no way to prove this. period.

the friction coefficient isn't the only factor. there are tons and tons of differences between oils. like the amount of lithium in the oil as a 'last resort' stop gap in cases of unexpected knocks or what not. im not even going to get into the friction demands from the clutch which would easily slip and burn itself through if you were to put in an oil with too low of a friction coefficient.
also, it had v300 in it when it blew the transmission, and again when it blew the crank. i dont use motul anymore because its too expensive.
