Hi,
Don't know how you figure that. Aside from stating the obvious, there isn't a whole lot of information there - it's just Hype.
Oil reduces Friction - there's a revelation - Stop the Presses, Film at 11...
A Racing Engine is an entirely different animal - purposely designed to much
Looser tolerances. A Race Engine develops more, not less Friction.
And remember, we're talking about a comparison of one Oil to another, not whether Oils aren't lubricants.
There's very little friction in the Oil Bearing internals of a car - the Crankshaft, Big-Ends, Small-Ends, Pistons, even the Cam lobes have no metal-to-metal contact, at least in theory. All these components
Float on a film of Oil.
Again, any quality Oil with the same viscosity will not create any more Power than any other. You can think so if you wish, but it's Myth.
A lot of people say that a new Oil makes the Car Smoother or Faster, but their comparison is to another Oil which is used, Broken Down and Dirty, not when that other Oil was new...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
