This is just something to talk about. How would a 6 stroke oil work? Looking at the design… it would still need to burn off wouldn’t it? Was interesting seeing the design but not sure how the oil would work.
What would be required to make a 6 stroke oil?

If your talking about the Porsche 6 stroke engine, from what is shown about it, the oil is going to see a lot of abuse from gears, and that causes shearing, and what ever oil is used is also going to require anti-foaming additives. Gear teeth are great at introducing air into oil.

To me, I’m in no way any type of professional or even knowledgeable, there’s a few things I would like to see. That is, only if they keep the OCI to 10k like on other Porsches. If the OCI is short, I think nearly any oil currently approved would do fine.
First, would want an oil that has a low to moderate amount of viscosity modifiers. I would like to see a 5w30 or similar to reduce shearing.
Second, I would like to see an oil with an exceptional anti-foaming ability. Similar to that of what we may find in a high RPM motorcycle or PWC.
Third, I would like to see an oil with more esters or the like (ANs) to prevent and clean deposits or varnish within the engine and other components.
Fourth, a big sump. I think a larger sump with a high capacity would help prevent premature wear and allow for oil to withstand adverse conditions while maintaining original properties.
Lastly, a ton of oil flow, introduce oil passages everywhere. If the oil is likely to foam, it makes me think that if we push a ton of oil throughout, there would be less occurances of inadequate oiling.
Again, I’m not a professional or anything close. This is also more of a what would the oil hopefully look like and how the engine could best utilize the oil and prevent non-optimal situations.

You use oil in the sump and mix oil with the gas and pray.
Have they actually built on of these?

As I’m still wrapping my head around things, wouldn’t the oil still need to burn off like a two stroke vs be reused like a 4?
4 stroke oil + 2 stroke oil = 6 stroke oil
6 stroke Porsche engine? Another thing I need to look up!

How about a specially compounded 6W46?
