Driven's Racing/Street Oil - FR50

Hey everyone, I've been following the development of Driven's FR50 5w-50 (and FR20) oils for awhile now and it's finally time for my second oil change. I've contacted blackstone and confirmed that they'll test un-used motor oil. I plan to not only send in a used sample, but also a fresh one in for analysis to see how it stacks up vs ford motorcraft oil.

Has anyone else ran any of Driven's oils? They claim the FR50 was specifically designed for the coyote and even print it on their labels.

Motorcraft isn't anything special so it can't be any worst.

I'm all ears on this thread. I'm curious to see how this oil stacks up before and after some track miles. Thanks for posting.

At least a few group-b/intermediate days with HOD.

Very nice! I'm headed to NJMP with NASA in a couple weeks for my first outing this year... be nice to get back out.

I had M1 5W50 in for 3 track days and ~4500 street miles recently and it held up really well. Still had life left. On motorcraft now, will probably get 4 track days and a couple thousand miles on it, but I expect it will break down like it has in others tests... curious to see how the Driven oil holds up!!

Enjoy your track days.
