The Chevron SRI apprears to have a higher base oil viscosity

I'm looking to minimize friction in small bearings, kart racing bearings. This is one of the applications from SKF

How about Dow G-2001? Would this be similar?

Would welcome some input into finding a comparable high speed low torque grease. Thanks. SKF LGLT Data Page

What about dunking a chain in something like Slip Plate, graphite based dry film coating? Or perhaps Dri-slide, a moly dry film coating?

What about these, do they qualify as high solids content, yet thin enough to penetrate to the pin and bushing? Sprayon Dry Moly Lube is a high solids, molybdenum disulfide coating that withstands high pressures. This product bonds to all clean surfaces that are not adversely affected by alcohol...

Are the dry-film moly options really that limited? Perhaps the experts could point us to a wider range of product offerings that hit the mark. There seems to have been a lot said about what doesn't work, please tell us what does and that is readily available. Curious what the consistency of the...

Is it just a mix of base stock, ZDDP and Moly along with the right viscosity for the application. Do detergents just get in the way becuase race engines get torn down regularly? How different really are the chemistries/performance of Redline, Joe Gibbs, M1 Racing, Royal Purple, Brad Penn in...

I didnt spend too much time trying to digest this file, but wouldnt friction and wear data be more interesting across similar grades. Eg a OW5 oil is not likely to perform the same as a 5W30. Some grades are designed for low temp operation like qualifying.

what are the differences in make-up of Gibbs XP0, Redline 2W Pro Stock, Lucas Pro Stock oil and others. PAO? Ester? ZDDP? Moly?

Any perspectives on the Diamond Carbonate additive used vs. a Moly additive?

Just came across it today myself. http://www.synmaxperformancelubricants.com/ They have a street product line and a race product line. Race line seems to have a good dose of ZDDP

Does anybody have experience with this brand of lubricants?

I've heard that the niche karting oils have higher antifoamant additives given the rpm these little engines are operating as compared to their original design intent. Is there a way to determine the level of these type of additives in mass market oils vs niche oils?

Just wanted to add some further thoughts/questions. The recommended oil for these engines from Honda is 10-30. Most folks are loosening up the cases and clearences to get them to run more free. One might say that would require a heavier oil for protection. Another argument is that a lighter oil...

Some use castor based oils as well like Blendzall. Thoughts on this appreciated as well.

Would welcome any thoughts on good oils and viscosity ranges for Quarter Midgets or Karting. Splash type 4-stroke engines, Honda GX-120s, GX 160s, Briggs Animals or World Formulas. Oils in use range from Mobil 1, Red Line, Briggs-Valvoline, Joe Gibbs, Brad Penn, PowerPlus, Red-E, Carmac etc...
