Here's a virgin sample of Redline 10W30 that I used in my ZR2:

Aluminum 1
Chromium 1
Iron 2
Copper 0
Lead 0
Tin 0
Moly 613
Nickel 0
Manganese 0
Silver 0
Titanium 0
Potassium 22
Boron 15
Silicon 15
Sodium 15
Calcium 2521
Magnesium 7
Phosphorus 1028
Zinc 1005
Barium 0

SUS vis @ 210F = 61.7
Flashpoint *F = 435

TBN = 13.5
 
It's most likely the street oil as I believe that Redline's race oils are all simply listed as single weight oils. The amount of silicon in the virgin sample is strange, and it would be hard to figure out on a used sample, as you might end up thinking your air intake has a leak.
 
Yes, it is the 10W-30 street oil, not the racing oil. As Patman mentioned, the Redline race oils are not listed as multi-viscosity.

Does this mean if someone runs this oil they should subtract 15ppm from their final silicon number? Or will that silicon be depleted?
 
Patman, You are going to hate my answer.... it depends.

That virgin sample above is showing 15, my data shows variablity from 5 ppm to 32 ppm of silicon in unused Redline.

The antifoam depletes but the rate varies in application. The honest answer is it Depends.
