It looks like this V-8 Toy would be fine on an oil off the Walmart shelf. It doesn't look like it needs anything as costly as RLI, although I do like your supporting Ohio companies.
Not sure why you're looking at fuel dilution since it looks pretty reasonable.
This must be a very entertaining car to drive, with plenty of power and even decent fuel economy for those boring commutes.
Nice post of a UOA from a lab we don't see very often.
Yes with 10 quarts.
Well, normally every other RC F(25+ UOA) I've ever tested runs around 4% FD for daily driving and much worse if tracked. Having put strictly RLI in, fuel % was still around 2.7% for 5,000 miles.
I upped the filtration and started adding some fuel additives and different fuels to bring it down to 1.2%. When this thing was on M1, the wear values were all 3x as much and the FD was at 3.5%. On a semi blend from the dealer this thing was at 4.5%.
Yeah I can get her up to 38.9mpg on the highway with the wing down at 59mph.
