Motul launches Classic Engine Oils for “Youngtimers”
Share:

As one of the first brands to launch a dedicated classic oil range back in 2008, Motul has now added to its classic range with new technology oils specially formulated for older engines.


These dedicated products with adapted detergent levels to better suit old engines, cover Pre-War vehicles up to ‘Youngtimers’ (also often known as Modern Classics).  As well as lubricants, the Classic range includes coolants, cleaners and care products exclusively designed for the maintenance and care of these automotive gems.

Cars from the 1970s to 2000, available to enthusiasts at a lower level of investment compared to earlier vintages, have become increasingly collectable. Owners of these cars are typically young men and women, under 40 who prefer to maintain their cars the “DIY” way, and who fully immerse themselves in this retro world.  

To meet this demand, Motul has now developed two engine oils, which it says deliver unrivalled protection and superb functionality for classic and vintage engines. Suitable for original or rebuilt engines, CLASSIC EIGHTIES 10W-40 and CLASSIC NINETIES 10W-30 are semi-synthetic multigrade engine oils specially designed for Modern Classic and Youngtimer vehicles from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s fitted with 4-stroke engines, fueled by either petrol or Diesel, naturally aspirated, supercharged or turbocharged, injection or carburetor.

These semi-synthetic formulas feature a high-Zinc (ZDDP) content for protection and Molybdenum for performance. Their unique formula, reinforced with synthetic base oils, provides excellent cold flow properties to prevent engine wear during start-ups and offers excellent cold-flow properties.  The unique additives package also brings excellent long-term storage protection for those periods when driving just for fun just isn’t possible.

Alpha Lubricants distributes the full range of Motul’s Car, Commercial Heavy Duty, Agri and Motorcycle products nationwide. For more information, email, sales@alphalubricants.ie or phone, 021 488 9814.
