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.

So i would rather go with the 300v then since my car would love it more. I rather use what is a better oil but not harmful and i would consider doing my oil changes every 5000 miles.
