RedLine RACE 15W50 produced very little scaring as standard, yet still every SQUID INK blend was able to provide noticeable improvements in scaring. The most notable results were taken from the currently available blends (such as M1, M2, M11, and M15) which were then were used to create a new specialized blend designed specifically for this base oil -- M19. The main goal of the new blend (M19) was temperature and required power reduction, as scaring was already minimal. Not only were temperatures significantly reduced (285.4' F N/A down to 230.4' F with M19, a reduction of nearly 20%), but scar size was also reduced by over 25%, and the required power differential reduced by over 5%. | |||
It is worth noting that this oil has a fair amount of ZnDDP added and SHOULD NEVER BE USED in a vehicle with a catalytic converter! This is a RACE ONLY oil! | |||
