Well, I have to play devil's advocate here, even though I have some Motul on order...

It's not necessarily true that racing parts and fluids are even better on the street, although it often works out well. Remember that in higher-end racing, engines are constantly rebuilt and fluids are changed after every race. Therefore they don't really need to worry about long-term wear, they just want protection from failure for one race, and the thinnest fluid they can put in there because thin, slippery oil gives a little horsepower bump.

Some other cool things about MOTUL, its made from veggies! Vegetable oil, which will not have the impurities of crude oil.

All oils have to be purified and refined, including vegetable oils. It's not like the veggies are grown in a clean room, and even if they were you still have plant matter to separate out.

Because of this it is also HIGHLY biodegradable.

Personally, I don't give a crap about whether the oil is biodegradable, and I bet you still have to dispose of it at the oil dropoff at your favorite auto parts place. You're involved in CA EPA stuff: do you think an EPA representative would witness you dumping Motul into the soil and be ok with that?

If you smell it, you will want to drink it....smells like fruit punch. Also has a cool glow stick color to it.

I don't plan on drinking my motor oil, and I would never put fruit punch or glow-stick fluid in my engine, so this is irrelevant.

I read that it is polarized meaning magnetic. I couldn't manipulate it with some magnets I had at work but this doesn't prove anything though.

Polarized does not mean magnetic in the general sense, although permanent magnets can be said to have the majority of their atoms aligned along a given polarity axis. Here's a video about ferrofluids, which are actual magnetic liquids. Motul does not do this:
