That's pretty much true

IIRC, DT 40 is not recommended for use in racing.
I know many that use Motul 8100 in their race cars. From what I have been told, it has superior high temp sheer. Basically it continues to lubricate at higher temperatures

Does anyone have any empirical data that shows DT 40 is superior other than what a specific person has said?

As far as needing oil between changes, my car rarely needs more than a few oz's between oil changes and that has been true with M 1 as well as Motul which I switched to earlier this year
