Which kit should you choose?
Street/default: Motul 7100 10W-40 with HF303.
Street with racing-style filter: Motul 7100 with HF303RC; the service interval does not change.
Track/performance: Motul 300V Road Racing 10W-40 with either filter. Motul says the interval depends on use, so 300V never grants a longer street interval.

Other basic maintenance parts
Hiflofiltro identifies HFA2925, but P4M does not have an exact live HFA2925 commercial record that passed this batch's gate. Brake fluid, coolant, chain-care products and the drain washer are omitted until exact records pass the same audit.
