I think a lot is assumed about M1's performance.
The fact that their 5w30 PCMO can be picked off the shelf at Walmart and run at Daytona speaks volumes.......

Great post Johnny!
what I wonder is what are they going to do with engines and what would UOA look like...
If they are changing engines after this race than choice of oil falls to the one that will protect the engine enough to last a duration of the race and be rebuilt afterwards..
on top of that all these cars have oil coolers so oil temps were not that high..

It's all highway miles

I guess it is all relative. Top fuel engines are rebuilt after driving 1320ft......

It would be interesting to compare the amount of revolutions the crank has made and the distance the pistons have traveled in one race at high RPM vs the same in a car driven every day. Most daily drivers aren't taken past 4k rpm and cruise at 2-3k RPM, race engines spend a lot of time north of 8k rpm.

that is so true..driving around town I rarely go past 3k rpm (plenty of torque down low in my Audi)..but on the race track I spend most of the time in 4K - 7K rpm range.
thing is oil pressure is pretty good at those high rpm, I think shock loading when getting on and off accelerator is probably responsible for most wear in high rpm conditions and that is where good additive pack can protect you.
I have just sent my oil for analysis after 5.2K OCI that saw hard track weekend with oil temps in 270-280F range..I am curious to see how GC held up.

Glad to see this post. Also good to know my some 2,000,000 + miles of M1 use wasn't a fluke. If it's good enough for the finest car companies in the world, and some of the best race teams there are, it make work in my old Fords as well.
While I was at Daytona I signed up for the SunTrust Fan Zone. SunTrust sponsors the #10 Ford Dallera of Wayne Taylor Racing. When you signed up you had to answer a series of questions and if you got all the questions correct they would put your name in the hopper for a prize drawing. I was notified this morning that I was the winner and I am getting an official team uniform shirt autographed by the SunTrust team.
I'll look cool walking around in the snow with that sucker on.

"All of the other Prototype cars, Ford, Pontiac, Porsche, and Lexus powered used Mobil 1. And not just some special oil, but the exact same product that Valvoline says is no good. That's right, regular Mobil 1 5w30. I walked through every pit garage and asked every one of them and a few showed me the cases of oil and I saw one of them pouring it in."
A friend has a brother who hunts with someone that has a girlfriend that has an uncle that use to work at Mobil, and he said that Mobil paid the teams to use it, but the teams would only do it if Mobil really put Valvoline in because everyone knows it's better.

Congratulations. That shirt should be a real chick magnet. Pace yourself.

Anyone know if those engines use flat tappet or roller cams?
the Fords use DOHC heads with finger followers and hydraulic tappets. im assuming the other OHC motors use a similar setup while the pushrod motors use at least rollers, whether or not they are hydraulic or solid would depend on the manufacturer.
The Mustangs in the GT class used an engine similar to this. And the DP cars also used on similar to this with more HP.

that roush motor shares a TON of parts with regular production modular motors.
