I thought I remembered from years ago what oils/types caused orange discoloration inside the engine, mostly seen in an aluminum cylinder head since it's easy to see over what should be a bright silver color. Thought it was from parafin based oils but now I can't remember and can't find...

Got the VOA today on the New batch of Brad Penn 10W30 racing oil. Also did a TBN. 12.0 Higher ZDDP in this batch. -Chris

Ouch -Chris

I spit out my morning coffee, hope your happy. -Chris

I bet that was a relief! -Chris

Ok, I got the two free cases from Brad Penn. I compared the labels of the "old forumation" I supposedly have and the "new formulation" that was sent and they are different. The front of the bottles are the same, but the back label is different. The "new" bottles have the statement *Increased...

I tuned the car (3000GT VR4 on stock heads and stock cams)on 93 pump gas, C16, then E85. The E85 showed some much power, especially torque, I wanted to see what straight ethanol would do. I was maxed out at 670AWTQ on E85, on straight ethanol (95% ethanol 5% methanol) I tuned it to 747AWTQ. I...

Just got the UOA for a mix of 10W30 (3.5 qts) and break in (1 qt) posted info in UOA here http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1410220#Post1410220 -Chris

I mixed the following and ran them in a newly built 3.0L 6G72 Mitsubishi Turbo setup. Engine was just broken in with a few break in runs on the dyno using Brad Penn Break in oil. Then this mix was put in for dyno tuning and a few passes down the drag strip. I also drove the car around on the...

So as suggested I contaced BP via their website contact page with a link to the VOA sheet. A Very nice guy from BP contacted me within 4 hours of sending the info. Pretty quick in my book. He informed me that the VOA is exactly what the OLD formulation was and that I must have bought old...

I have some of the Break in oil as well. I may add 1 qt to the mix. That would definitely help. Thanks for the OA on that! That OA is olmost 2 yrs old though, wonder if it is still valid? -Chris

Email sent to BP asking them if this is normal. -Chris

At $$4.75/qt I am very disappointed. I will probably use the rest of this case and switch to Rotella T. I use Rotella in all the Hi HP cars that are built in my shop. I just thought BP was better than it looks like it really is. -Chris

I don't personally. I have found that BP VOAs and UOAs are hard to find. I started using it strictly off of racer's testimonies. It's working great and has protected bearings even when power pushed my girdle off the block. Lost enough oil pressure during a 10 second run to bleed down lifters...

I was disspointed, this IS the Brad Penn 1 Racing 10W/30. Partial Syn. Yes, it is green. -Chris

Here is a new VOA for Brad Penn 1 10W 30. Sample came from a unopened new case just purchased 03/12/2009. I also have a UOA sent in from a newly built motor that has seen dyno time, 30 miles on the street, and some drag strip time. I will post that in the UOA section. -Chris
