Motul Classic SAE 50 – 2 Litre | Case of 6

Preserve and protect your vintage or pre-war engine with Motul Classic SAE 50 — a mineral engine lubricant specifically formulated for original engines and gearboxes built between 1900 and 1950. Engineered with the unique requirements of antique and historic vehicles in mind, this oil is compatible with the paper, felt, and fabric gaskets found in period-correct engines that would be damaged by the detergent levels in modern lubricants.

Available as a case of 6 x 2L bottles for collectors, restoration shops, and historic racing teams.

Key Features

• Pre-1950 Engine Formulation: Specifically designed for original engines and gearboxes built between 1900 and 1950
• Very Low Detergent Level: Fully compatible with paper, felt, and fabric gaskets — avoids excessive soot and deposit removal that can cause seal leaks in aged lubricating circuits
• Non-Ferrous Metal Compatible: Safe for use with brass, bronze, and copper components common in vintage engine construction
• Reinforced Adherence: Oil film clings to engine surfaces for easier startup after extended periods of storage or immobilization
• Break-In Oil Capable: Can be used as a break-in oil when drain intervals are shortened appropriately
• SAE 50 Straight-Weight: Correct viscosity for vintage engines with wider bearing clearances requiring high-viscosity straight-weight lubrication
