Confirmed using 25% NOVVI estolide base oils for Havoline Pro RS 5w30 and 0w20 Dexos1 GEN2

.9% SA content add pack with rest of base oils being GRP III+.

I'm gonna try this to reduce my oil consumption to 0.

Yes Sir and posted the results in multiple places here.
It did not stop the oil usage but it did a good job of protecting engine.

@Grumpy Bear test # 6 since brand new. The RLI 5w20 product was tested mixed with QS in test 7. PRO-RS is a good formula for the $. So far Amsoil has kicked ass. M1 needs to be looked at again too, it seemed to not use any with M1.

RS went the distance. Delo 600 not so much. Thanks for sharing.

The Delo did slow oil sucking past two dead center cylinders in cruise.
The RLI PCMO looks like it’ll be 27 ounces of oil use in 5000. One cool thing about RLI the bio oils burn really clean as noted in tail

pipe. I’m running the 2.7 turbo in 4 cylinder mode all the time and oil usage stops.
