BlackStone Report full e85 & 1 track day

Hey guys, so I decided to get a blackstone lab report done after switching over to a much thicker oil than factory recommended weight. The sample had 3,500 miles of daily/ canyon driving on full e85, car is FBO, JB4 with MHD back end flash map 7 around 28-29psi of boost. This sample also saw a track day at big willow. I bought this car brand new, all power mods and tune went on at break in service (1,100 miles). The car is a 2018 6 speed f80 ZCP. The oil used is Motul 300v 15w-50, the car seems to run happier on this oil, engine sounds much better than the thinner bmw oil, but that could all be a placebo. Report is attached, thoughts or input? Thanks in advance

Motul 300V 5w-40 here. It cleaned out the gunk left behind on my N54. The inside is nice and silver compared to some varnish left behind from running German Castrol 0w-40.

My oil temps are about 20f cooler with 300V. Makes total sense since fcpeuro offers it with lifetime warranty.

Between 3-4K miles. I could go longer but I like to be on the safe side and do it a little early.

Ya I go 4-5k tops. But, 20* degrees F lower temps compared to what oil ? That's crazy!!

I compared it against Castrol 0w-40 (German Castrol before it lost LL-01 certification) and Pennzoil Euro Platinum 5w-40 Euro (LL-01).

It was more cost effective for me since I buy 300V on Fcpeuro and they give you lifetime warranty on everything including oil.

You just buy oil, use it, drain it and send it back to them using the bottles and they give you a refund.
