Current measurement of oil flow behavior at very low temperatures (-40C/-40F for example) is insufficient.  Here is a proposed (economical) approach to correct the deficiency.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

The effects of ZDDP and its' breakdown products on Silicon Rubber - the presence of overbased detergents is essential to preventing gasket deterioration.

How ZDDP works, and Why using ZDDP additive to your oil of choice is not the way to prevent wear

Has anyone heard of turbo maxx.  Www.Zddpmaxx.com this guy has alot of testing videos on YouTube and it seems to be pretty compelling.  He has developed over years in race engines.  One was a 400+ small block that lost water during a race and the main rod bearings were still perfect.  He also has a fuel additive c-4 that people are using and see less knock and cooler engine temps from adding only like 1ml per 3 gallons of gas, also better mpg as well.  I haven't bought any yet but going to try some soon.  I currently am trying hot shots secrets fr3 additive and that has quieted down the motor quite a bit on start up and I have seen a 1.5 increase in mpg.  For me it's not really a issue seeing how I have 205k+ on the old girl and has been tuned for 100k+ and have had a p0016 code for about 25k+ miles, I just reset and run it.  New motor in the garage so when it goes then the relief pitcher comes in.  Let me know if you check out his site and what you think.  No money in it for me just curious.

Motorkote for me in all my small engines.

In the SHO I have run it but not every oil change as I change it every 6 months or less.

Conventional Oil preferred over Synthetic Oil?

Purely cost-driven (for modern engines anyway), as it turns out in this excerpt:
QuoteHowever, conventional oils still have a place in performance applications. Engines built with rope-style seals should run conventional oils to reduce leakage. Likewise, engines that see high levels of fuel dilution should also use conventional oils. That's because the best thing for that type of engine is frequent oil changes, and the lower price of conventional oil makes it more affordable to change the oil more frequently.

AMSOIL sponsored testing, but note the method used for shear stability results.  I wish Redline LWSP had been included in this test.  IDK how much it would cost do this out of one's own pocket.

Insights on lubrication from a race engine builder

https://rehermorrison.com/tech-talk-98-oil-is-everything/

Perhaps even more important:

QuoteHow does a racer know if the engine is momentarily running out of oil? Usually he doesn't. That's why I strongly recommend that every sportsman racer invest in a basic data logging system. A simple six-channel system can record everything a racer really needs to know: engine speed, driveshaft rpm, acceleration, battery voltage – and most important, oil pressure. These systems are affordable, and they are great insurance. The driver may not notice a drop in oil pressure on a gauge, or he may ignore an oil pressure warning light that flickers during deceleration. However, a data logger will capture even a momentary loss of oil pressure. That's a wake-up call to improve the oil system or to change the shutdown procedure.
