Eneos 0w50

[bruce381]

You guys crack me up its a 0/50 so what? chemistry is bound somewhat by SM spec. And yes some additives aswell as base oil will not show up on a lab test they will show improvement if any in use or dynamic lab tests that is where the magic maybe.

I'd run 5-7K do a UOA and I will bet it looks no better than any other 10/30 SM.

Bye the way I kinda like the thick idea I was never happy with 5/20's think they are to thin a 50 wt IMHO would cost some HP but would soften sounds and noise in engine. IMHO no flame or reply needed,

I don't understand why an F1 car would use a 0w-50. Anyone?

How do you know they don't? Actually it's hard to pin down what they use since they have portable labs that travel with the team. They change oil formulations to suit the situation that day. The Shell lab is pretty impressive and is run by a lady. The Ferrari has a special fitting on the engine. When they take a sample the sample device reads something from the wiring harness at the same time. The sample is never exposed until it gets back to the trailer.
