Cubes,
Going by that forum your linked seems to me Motul is not a bad oil what the SC test claims to be! I reckon that SC oil test is way of it's true figures! Plus i have never heard bad reports on Motul oil from anyone as of yet.

rubes,
If i was you i would just keep using the oil you are using... Tests are tests but not every car is the same... People say say use this oil or use that oil but at the end of the day it comes down to what you want to use.. You could go thru 3 or 4 maybe more different types of oils till you come to the one you like the best.
Right now i am using Valvoline 10w/30 or something like that but its just too thin for my car. So i will be going to a fuchs 15w/40 I have always used that in the VL's i owned and never had a problem with that brand of oil at all. Plus if it was that bad why does the porsche cup use that oil, some v8 supercars etc etc. Just remember not every car is the same....
