Interesting conversation with an XOM engineer on oil development. The oil being used in Red Bull F1 was a development of 10 years. One of the things he mentioned was how they (XMRE) work closely with XOM Chemical, who is always working on organic molecules. There was an instance too where they stumbled upon an ingredient that was used in the cosmetics industry.
I think the idea you can just slap together an oil and load it up with xyz is completely naive.
Mobil makes a line of racing oils that come in a 0w50 and 0w30 grade. I never understood why they made a 0w50 but after watching this I wouldn't second guess it knowing the testing and development that goes into these products.
