Its there now

Lot of moly and a lot of Ca, dang

Linear wear ppm / miles just looking at the numbers.? I could be wrong though.

Got lots of good stuff in it, but doesn’t seem much different than most other UOAs as far as wear goes.

Which is exactly in line with what the analysis company says, that there is no statisticaly valid UOA difference between any appropriately rated oil. It also supports the notion that a UOA is not an appropriate tool to determine wear.

Kind of puts 99% of all the UOA posted on this site into perspective.

I don't think redline is worth the pricey premium they charge.
No better than mainstream oils.

High TAN, passed TBN. Cut to 5k. This is basically track oil.

TBN is 3.5 so?

I wonder what the high iron?

 

[aquariuscsm]

What do oils with either zero or little moly use as anti wear now? Titanium (like Castrol) or something else?

Universal average is 18
So I’m ok I think
I’m averaging 11 on two test

When TAN and TBN equalizes it is not good. When TAN pass TBN it is bad. Redline is not ordinary oil. It is designed as performance oil. That mean shorter OCI’s bcs. higher oxidation. I would use it on track at any point, but not longer than 3-5k.

Which begs the question why would Blackstone tell him to increase his mileage instead of decrease it?

Blackstone ALWAYS say: go further.
There will be higher TAN in redline from get go as oil is majority Ester based. It is downside of Ester based oils.

I think boron? Could be wrong.

Or more precisely, your engine is running as expected.

On the Redline site it’s 11.9 it’s peaked to 12.5, need to cut down the interval. Still, I want to try this oil for fun. Thanks for the UOA.

How does Moly increase? Unless more oil or additive added? Is "Nudged up a bit" a scientific term?
