When I spoke to FF (some time back) he was clearly recommending the B-P which was the 'old' Kendall Racing Oil. Never mentioned the new Kendall brand. So my curiosity was if they might really be the same now and Kendall using B-P to make the 'Racing Green Oil'. But then I could not find Kendall Racing Green Oil anywhere.

Wasn't trying to start the debate over oil brands again. Mostly curious or confused and just giving a heads up to make sure you are using something best suited for the S38. It really boils down to what is easily available to you and proper. For me that is BP with free delivery to my workplace.
The guy that build my brothers S38 turbo uses this Kendall for 10 years now in every racing engine he has build.

He had guys wear out their race engine (10.000rpm Fiat) in one season but using this oil they could race for 2 seasons. He checked them at the end of every season and there was significantly less wear in the engine, especialy at the top end.
