Had my gaskets changed over recently due to cracked valve springs, valve sealing chamber causing gasket to blow out. These works were done nearly 9000km before test. 1 litre of top up oil was used. Recent test are the first results and the second set are the last test i did. The silicon is very...

How much emphasis should be placed on a higher TBN oil for a 10,000 mile drain interval ? I traditionally go for tbn's of around 9 and above etc when choosing an oil.

What makes some oils like ULX-110 and Brad Penns able to stand up to methanol dilution better than others ? Is it additives or the base stock design, both of these being mineral based etc. Even Redline has a good rep amongst drag racers.
