8100 is not a full synthetic. Would you *probably* be okay? Probably. I won't say for sure until someone actually run it and posts a series of oil analysis that show that it's fine.
Is 300V *more* than you need? Sure. Will your engine love you for it? Yes! I'd recommend you start with a 5000 mile oil change interval on 300V, and then get your oil analyzed and see how much life the oil has left. Everyone's usage patterns are different.
Not quite apples to apples, but I've discovered that 10k oil changes are too short on my s2k, but 12k is too long. I'm trying 11k this time around (and sending off a sample).
*edit* I'm thinking 6100, which is not a full syntehtic, and is what Motul pushes locally. 8100 is a full synthetic.
