Not built as a street car,there may or may not be internal differences.
This why I want to learn about that specific number the the manual says to use.
It is very possible that there are no specific requirements,
boutique oil
Motul , really?
Thanks again
whoops, sorry!
Isn't the AMG GT3 a homologation special? Sometimes the homologation has rules and regulations as to how close the GT3 racing version has to be to the street version. So, the street oil may very well be acceptable to use, but maybe not.

Motul is a household word for motorsports. For the oil buying public, it's just a bit harder to find.
This is certainly possible! I definitely would not doubt this being common
