Wow, looks great. Thanks for posting.
IDK why one would need regularly a 0w rated race oil.

So Hybrids are using "race oil" since most spec 0w20???
Bob, thanks for posting the analysis. I'm surprised by how thick it starts out.
The subject is 0w-40. The oil does not meet ILSAC GF4 or GF5 specified for the majority of cars on the road (U.S.).
The "crack me up" is on you.
Most likely a great performace oil for high specific output engines with turbo supercharging.
I'll take it off Bob's hands for my Subaru ...

M1 0W-40 is often used as a race oil so what's your point?
Oh and Bob a belated thanks for posting this.
BTW if this 4.0cP HTHS vis oil is thicker than necessary for some applications it can be blended with RL's 0W-30 (HTHS vis 3.2cP) to achieve whatever viscosity you want between the two, all with RL's blessing.

YWVM Caterham. RL 5w30 is on my list... along with more 5w30s, 0w40, 5w40 and 10w40s....
