Did anyone notice how black the "20W-50" they were installing was.. A far as I know, Graphite oil disappeared when ARCO Dropped it back in the 70's.

Again, a 20W-50 compared to a 0W-50 may not be a good test.... If the 20W-50 was bumping the upper cst range and the ENEOS was at the bottom of the cst range for a 50 wgt, that is a full grade difference.

I am not saying that is the case, but someone is trying to get me a Technical Data Sheet for the ENEOS so we can look at some numbers.

Also, a Dyno run is not the only test needed to judge the performance of an oil. ASTM Tests are really what is needed to check TBN, Wear and Shear Stability at the least.

I can get you an oil additive that when added to any oil will give you a boost in HP and cooler oil tems... The problem is that it degrades the oil very quickly and will cause damage if the oil is not changed early..

Attached you will find the technical data for the ENEOS oil and what I believe to be the oil it was tested against. I will have confirmation very shortly.

thoughts?

From my personal experiance RP has never been up to par with a majority of the oils available on the market. I have seem plenty of UOAs that will prove you otherwise but im open to hear a reason as to why you claim its "FTMFW".

I am with you... ALSO... RP does not hold up when subjected to ASTM Tests which is what I like to look at..
