After research into other oil brands, I may switch, Lucas oil may be something to look at. But the original thread was about oil failures in very high output engines, engines putting out around 200 hp per litre, at this rate a new z06 would be 1200hp, an Enzo the same. We are still waiting for Ed's post mortum, but he did drive it home, so whatever it was it was not catastrophic. Hold a match over that drained oil an see what happens. There are a whole lot of things that can cause oil/engine failures; how much oil was trapped in the top end under load? Did the pump cavitate? Was there so much froth that there were air bubbles? Was there air flow over the oil cooler, or was the oil thermostat even putting the flow thru the cooler? If not there is a fix for that. Have these tuners that saw failure with M1 only seen them because all the engines were running M1, I mean are people using other oils that have seen no failures? I'd sure like to know.
I think people with fairly stock motors are overreacting to this news, M1 will be fine, probably the cheapest walmart oil would be fine. It is just hard to imagine that Ferrari, Porsche, Dodge Viper, Corvette, and many other very high end cars with way better insider info would use and recommend this oil if there were problems.
But like I said in an earlier post, there are ways to increase air flow over the oil cooler, lessen frothing (knife edging cranks) better pump eficiency, and maybe adding additional capacity with a reservoir in very high output motors. Some of you guys, Ed, Kevin, and others, are pushing the very outer limits here, and maybe to claim your engine outputs are with stock bottom ends will come back to haunt you.
BTW, nextel cup cars have dry sumps, and use a belt driven oil pump the size of an AC compressor, and the oil reservoir/cooler is in the back seat and is the size of a small refrigerator.
