Name that oil

[ohms69]

I have been given some specs for an oil that is currently under test in the UK by one of the leading Skyline GTR tuners. He builds 800BHP plus cars and has a vested interest in finding the best oil for his customers cars(for obvious reasons). He will not however disclose the origins of this particular blend.

I have my own thoughts as to what it is similar to, but would like people's opinions on what other oil has close specs...

Some of the specs resemble Amsoil 0w-30.

11.3 cSt @ 100C in an 800HP engine? I'd like something somewhat thicker in there if it was mine thanks.

I totally agree. Something closer to 14cst would probably be perfect.

 

[ohms69]

Perhaps a blend of the S2K 20w-50 and 0w-30?

I haven't seen a 10w-40.

Do Redline manufacture something with similar specs but slightly thicker?

 

[sprintman]

RL have 5W40 and 10W40. Amsoils 20W50 should be good in summer IMO.

That was fun! Lets do it again with different specs.

Duplicate post, so I'll lock this version.
