Thank you for your comments Elite. From a wear prospective using comments such as “compounds” which are derived from oil (other than gas or water) one really needs to understand modern oil compositions including “prioritary chemicals” that producers use in modern oils that vary from one producer over the next as well as the various refinement processes involved in more detail. These all vary from one producer over the next. Over the counter testing will not disclose all compositions. SRU’s are used by many producers (as a result of mandates) that remove sulfur by as much as 98% in modern day engine oils. Without this removal the potential for acid formation increases dramatically. Personally I don’t want these introduced in the combustion processes in any form.

Speaking of “Street” and “Pro Racing” different blends and setups made for such activity should be considered. For me the best is just to select the proper oil, keep it changed, always keep good filters, all under the proper temperatures. There’s a reason why there are qualified petroleum and chemical engineers...
