Formula R: High-Performance Synthetic Engine Oil by Honda Racing

[Sporky McGeuschky]

Well, I don't know if I'm gonna be BS'ed or not... I just put in an order for Formula R 5W 30 at about 8:00 p.m. Central time at Clark Knapp / HondaPartsOnline.net.

Well...

That didn't take long. Got an email today regarding "we can't ship the fluids you ordered".

"Blah blah blah, Cheech N Chong."

BS complete.

Clark Knapp does NOT currently have Formula R 5W 30 oil. No word yet on when it will be available.

Happy Hunting.

90% of the time when i try to order something from a dealer's website, they cancel it. i don't even try anymore.

Well dang, that's a shame.

I've only ordered items from Honda dealer websites a few times so far, and so far I've had mostly success.
Just now ran into this roadblock with the Formula R oil, which is not really a surprise, since this "magic sauce" is the new hotness right now.
Hopefully this scarcity will fade as the initial stock slowly gets replenished over the next several months.

Just got my full case in from Strafe Racing. Easy communication and ends up being a purchase from Honda Stratham in NH. Will do the first oil change in September.

Got mine last week too. I wish I'd have known it was actually going to be available otherwise I would have waited to do my last oil change. I opened the oil filters up and they're all oily on the outside lol.

I'm eagerly waiting on the oil analysis on this

In time Padawan, in time all will be revealed.

Phillips 66 makes the lubricants used in HRC race cars so it's definitely high quality. Honda also doesn't have any specificed oils that currently meet the ILSAC GF-7/7A certification but the Phillips 66 Shield Armor/Valor does meet that certification so I wonder if it's a variation of that.

Ill stick with valvoline restore and protect. Prevents piston ring sticking and does meet GF7.

Have we gotten people running the HRC oil for a while yet? I feel like the rollout on it was horrendous.

Anyone got lab reports on this oil?

 

[mattrose4]

I was hoping to get some before my final track day for the year, but couldn't get some in time so AMS oil signature series it is! I really want to see some lab reports on HRC oil
