Motomaster Formula 1 is just a category 3 oil with good additives. It is not a true 100% synthetic. Mobil 1 is the only mainstream oil that is. Amsoil, Royal Purple and Redline etc are also full syns but they don't count as they are a pain to get a hold of. I think I will dump this oil and change as soon as it warms up a bit. Yeah I guess this car is driven hard, it's just so tempting! I have a stash of oil to choose from, Mobil 1 synthetic, Formula 1 synthetic and Amsoil synthetic. I may "offload" my Formula 1 if my UOA sucks. or maybe everything is just dandy and the MOS2 made that funky colour and coating.

I sent in my oil sample of Formula 1 5w30 synthetic with MOS2 with 7000 KM on it. Should have the result in a week. I think this sample will be nasty as I drove the car very hard.

I finally have my oil analysis with a small dose of MOS2. Any thoughts on the fuel content or anything else?
