We are excited to share with you the news of our collaboration with Octain distribution and Motul oils. Octain are the larget UK distributor of Motul products and offer an extensive range of Porsche approved oils. Backed by a combined experience in Porsche servicing and lubricants, this article delves into the specifics of some of the Porsche approved Motul products available.
Recently, Octain Distribution visited our facility to showcase the exceptional performance of Motul’s range.
Watch as their specialist Nathan provides in-depth insights into the benefits of using Motul fluids for Porsche vehicles. Here’s what they had to say during their visit:
PDK Clutch and Gearbox fluid Change
For Porsches equipped with a PDK transmission, like this Porsche 981 Cayman GTS, we recommend using Motul’s Multi DCTF or High-Torque DCTF along with Gear 300 75W90.
These synthetic formulations are ideal for both high-performance road cars and track vehicles alike, providing superior performance and protection.
It’s important to note that the early 991 and 981 generation Porsches are now reaching the 12-year mark, which is the recommended service interval for the gearbox and clutch fluids.
Advanced Brake Fluids
Choosing the correct brake fluid is essential for maintaining optimal braking performance, especially for high-performance and track-focused Porsches. For standard road use, DOT 4 and DOT LV is recommended. However, for more performance-oriented applications, such as occasional track days, the RBF600 or RBF660 fluids are recommended. These non-silicon synthetic fluids are designed to handle higher temperatures, with RBF660 being ideal for full-on track use and carbon ceramic brakes.
Motul Engine Oils for Porsche
Although we do not stock these at the moment, Motul do also offer an extensive range of manufacturer approved engine oils, which are available upon request. As Chris specified for his Porsche Cayman GTS (pictured bellow) For this GTS we used Motuls 8100 X-cess Gen 2 5W-40 grade. This high-performance synthetic oil is engineered to deliver exceptional power and deliver optimal protection even in extreme driving conditions (stop and start). Crucially, this oil meets Porsche’s A40 specifications, making it a great choice for high-performance vehicles.
