Where do you find that? This may be good for my IT car but I have never come across M1 labelled as racing oil.

I've heard a lot of good things about it but so far I've only used it for Auto-RX treatments. I have a sample from the rinse phase of my VW but haven't sent it to Blackstone yet. I'm not sure there's a point, with all the dirt that should have rinsed out.

I, too, have had great luck with M1 in the past. Both my current (road going) engines are all varnished up now on M1 0W40. At a minimum I'm reducing OCIs but probably changing oil, just haven't decided yet. Possibly German Castrol in the winter and M1 TDT in the summer. At 105K your Mustang is a low mileage car.
