Thanks for the VOA. Can you list some examples of cars/engines that you put this oil in at your shop?
I realize Shaeffer considers it a 'racing' oil, so they have specific applications in mind.

You're very welcome.
Primarily BMW M engines, but we've put it in a handful of older air-cooled Porsches and VW's. I'm about to order some DRIVEN DT40, DT50 and FR50 to send off as well for comparison. I'm tossing around the idea of switching to DT50 for the air-cooled engines, but need some UOAs to base off of.

That's a good looking spike for a weaker sauce.
What does all that moly do exactly?
A gimmick?
I see it as a big flashy lure to catch the 1st sucker that swims by.

^^^That's NOT really a high 'dimer' type moly number, as Red Line averages in the 600-750 ppm range for most of their oils.

In this case, the moly acts synergistically with the ZDDP to function as both an Anti-Wear as well as a friction reduction agent.

Got it.
What I don't get is people adding moly additives willy-nilly to formulated lubricants.

Wow! That will be going in my drag truck Cummins.
Without purple dye, it's useless. (Blackstone will have an entry on the form for purplanium later, you'll see.)
