Motul Classic 20W‑50 – Premium Mineral Oil for Vintage Engines

Overview:
Motul Classic 20W‑50 is a mineral multigrade engine oil created specifically for 4-stroke gasoline and diesel engines from the 1950–1970 era. It’s ideal for naturally aspirated, turbocharged, or supercharged classics with carburetor or injection systems.

Key Features & Benefits:

• API SF/CC specification: Meets mid‑century engine standards while integrating Motul’s modern lubricant technology.

• High Zinc & Molybdenum Additives: Offers robust protection for high‑lift cams, flat tappets, and critical components.

• Medium detergent formulation: Compatible with elastomer gaskets, controls oil consumption, and resists oxidation and sludge.

• Shear stability: Maintains viscosity under heat; SAE 50 high-temp grade suits high-mileage engines prone to oil burn-off.

• Cold start protection: Enhances engine startup after storage periods.

• Year-round performance: Reliable across temperatures, delivering an oil film during winter storage.

Applications:

• Designed for classic vehicles (cars and motorcycles) from 1950 to 1970.

• Suited to gasoline and diesel engines—naturally aspirated, turbo, or supercharged—with both carbureted and fuel-injected systems.

• Compatible with engines featuring tight running clearances and those consuming more oil due to age.

• Can be blended with synthetic or mineral oils; recommended annual oil change or based on usage.

• Important: Not suitable for most post‑1988 petrol engines—modern engines may suffer sludge, oxidation, or wear.

Summary

Motul Classic 20W‑50 is a premium, mineral-based oil tailored for older engines. It blends vintage compatibility with modern additive tech—offering high-temp stability, wear protection, and reliable cold starts, perfect for preserving and running classic vehicles.
