They are almost done…. Thanks for the kind words. The nice thing about being small is the ability to be flexible. More later. They are about to push tonight’s main at the Chili Bowl.

It’s probably not fair to lump esters all together under that statement. It really depends on the ester. There are some as you describe and then there are others that are very hydroliticly stable. As with many things the correct choices yield good results.

We are nearly done with them. David

Pure ammonia does not present a corrosion problem. Wet ammonia however can be a different story. It is the contaminant that causes the issue

They make some pretty fast bathtubs.

I will be at the Chili Bowl from Tuesday through Saturday.

Bring her along. “Happy birthday honey”

This. Very small changes can return measurable differences in results. It is always best to avoid mixing oils. It’s not likely you will blow anything up. It’s also likely that a mixture could provide a lower performing product than what each would do individually.

I’m quite comfortable with our real world results vs a spreadsheet in theory. David

I am not familiar with the Liqui Moly products. I’m sorry. David

There is a huge range. A dragster such as competition eliminator would use something like a 0w5. Dragsters in bracket racing will be from thin to the 20w50 range. Dragsters in something like Top Sportsman could be 5w30 to 50wt. Dragsters in Top Alcohol or Injected nitromethane 50wt to 70wt. Top...

I recently went to a McLaren event in Chicago. They had a nice collection of vintage McLaren cars on display. My eye was partial to the all visible carbon cars. Such beautiful pieces of work. Sorry for the poor lighting.

That would be in the 0w20 area.

Negative. They run heavier. In the past they could run qualifying oil and race oil. Those days are gone. They now have to qualify on the oil they race with.

Their chart above lists Novvi base oil on the bottom. We are familiar with Novvi and they make excellent products. In my experience they are a net gain when you use them appropriately. I see your point on the HTHS but honestly don’t have the direct experience to offer you valid input. Sorry for...

Yes there is a whole list of them. You absolutely raise a good point. I am an advocate of good oil for extended drains. It is how I operate almost all of our vehicles. That being said if the contaminants shorten the life available the next step I would make would be to pickup Mobil1 FS 0w40 and...

Sorry for the delayed response. You are in my opinion right on target. I don’t feel the conditions exist where volatility is the major factor. The issue can be boiled down to oil mist. Oil mist is leaving the crankcase and reaching the valves. A mechanical solution that would keep the mist from...

There is a likely case of line wash being sold as finished product. The TBN would be roughly 1.5

0w40 in a heartbeat for Tucson weather. Look me up when you get there.
