According to Renault some! ICE's - Ferrari and Mercedes - uses/burn
six times as much oil as Renault.
If they can do that on demand, I don't know but I think they can.

In a fuel unlimited qualifying session, why would you seek to gain power
from a fuel source which gains no signficant weight advantages and which
is broadly less effective at delivering power than "petrol" (for want of a
better phrase)?

If Merc do have a party mode button to use in quali, does it really make any
logical sense for the fuel for that to be oil?

I can see how using it in a race provides a way around the fuel restrictions
which could be advantageous, but surely not in quali?

Happy to be put in my place by anyone with good technical knowledge though,
despite being an F1 fan my knowledge of ICE and power trains is sparse to
say the least.

First I think you are grossly underestimate the caloric value of
lubrication oil, even the ordinary wall marked oil and the do not
use that brand.
Second it is not instead of petrol, it is in addition to.

My reaction was to the oil burning and what I read someone of Renault said
which is both Ferrari and Merc using the max limit while Renault uses
1/6 of that.

BTW if you use your imagination you can think of similar tricks right?

Yes of course, you're correct - fuel flow remains limited to ?100kg/hour? I
presume during quali and race, with the 105kg limiting allowance.

I don't know the answer to this btw, but is the 100kg/hour actually a
limiting factor in quali? The way the commentators describe things like
lift and coast, it always seems to me that fuel usage is the issue rather
than peak flow.

Yes, of course it is supplementary. But is the calorific value of oil
higher or lower than petrol? If it is not higher, you'd choose to use
petrol instead UNLESS it is fuel flow that you are managing as the
fuel flow sensor I believe is mounted in the fuel cell area, so presumably
would not detect any oil in the mix at that point.

Absolutely, I can see the potential trickery in it. Though I must admit
that I'd had it in my head that the oil burning (if it does exist) was a
way of getting around the 105kg fuel allowance limit rather than getting
around the 100kg/hour fuel flow limit.

If my understanding is incorrect, that wouldn't surprise me!

It was always to get around the fuel flow rate rather than the absolute
limit. However the FIA have significantly reduced the amount of oil that
maye be consumed and have done an about-turn for 2018 on allowing a solenoid
on the crankcase breather. Thay have also stipulated that the breather goes
to atmosphere rather than ICE inlet (as was standard ractice in F1
previously and is on almost all other ICEs).

Ferrari are protesting this by situating their breather in a very visible
place near the tail light, trying to make F1 look like polluters while
Mercedes have situated theirs near the exhaust so that any vapour / oil fog
is dragged into the exhaust plume and 'hidden'.

Hence on-demand oil burning is no longer possible in F1 in 2018 (and only
ever gave a few percentage points of extra power when it was). If Renault
are (were?) making the claims Edmund is quoting (without a source or cite)
then it was because they couldn't work out how to do it themselves.

Absolutely, I can see the potential trickery in it. Though I must
admit that I'd had it in my head that the oil burning (if it does
exist) was a way of getting around the 105kg fuel allowance limit
rather than getting around the 100kg/hour fuel flow limit.
If my understanding is incorrect, that wouldn't surprise me!
It was always to get around the fuel flow rate rather than the
absolute limit. However the FIA have significantly reduced the
amount of oil that maye be consumed and have done an about-turn for
2018 on allowing a solenoid on the crankcase breather. Thay have
also stipulated that the breather goes to atmosphere rather than
ICE inlet (as was standard ractice in F1 previously and is on
almost all other ICEs).
Ferrari are protesting this by situating their breather in a very
visible place near the tail light, trying to make F1 look like
polluters while Mercedes have situated theirs near the exhaust so
that any vapour / oil fog is dragged into the exhaust plume and
'hidden'.
Hence on-demand oil burning is no longer possible

Hi Bird,

You still can't help yourself do you.
I say white you say black, I say black you say white no
matter what I say you have a problem with it.
Now for your information :
The one I responded to found it necessarily to mention I
did not add a legal documents to prove every letter i said.
I am sure you like that very much don´t you.
Never mind I told here several times I don't record endless
databases and I don't add all legal documents whether you like
it or not.
You or whoever choose not to believe me? I could not care less.
It tells a lot more about you then it tells about me, so
you really don't have to respond any of my postings.

And now to the funny part!
He himself made a pretty bold statement and suggested his
opinion is a well known fact.
Guess what? it isn't, not only it is not well known, it is
not even true, it is nothing more then his own personal
opinion.

Now do you want to guess why I asked him if he himself
had a credible source for his assumption?
Hint : I returned the favor.

I'm trying to recall how many decades it's been since PCV systems became compulsory. I recall PCV's in the 60's and by the early 70's most cars had them. Certainly by 1980 they were compulsory because they were clean, efficient and improved oil performance by breathing the crankcase to the inlet manifold or TIK. So all cars have had PCV systems for about 4 decades, 40 years or more.

My reaction was to the oil burning and what I read someone of Renault said
which is both Ferrari and Merc using the max limit while Renault uses
1/6 of that.
Well during the race the max permitted amount of oil usage is
600ml/100km, so the Renault teams must be using ~100ml. The amount in
the tanks is known at all times by FIA, so they would know if and when
the levels fell.

Each PU can only use a single specification of oil over the race
weekend. This must be nominated before the event and 1L samples must
be supplied to the FIA for testing. It is permissable to use
different specs. for different PUs within a team.

Laughable!
"I know it's a constant concern from customer teams and for very good reason
to make sure they are treated equally because that certainly should be the
case. "It certainly has been the way that we have been acting towards our
customers in our 40 years of history of being an engine supplier in Formula
1."

It's fairly common knowledge that the new rule that stipulates all teams run
the same software is a result of a complaint from Toro Rosso after they
weren't allowed to turn their engines up at the end of last season - which
resulted in them scoring no points in the latter races and losing $10m
prizemoney to Renault.

I'm no F1 engineer but I do know quite a bit about ICEs and now that the
solenoid that could be used to close the breather and pressurise the
crankcase is no longer allowed in F1 I don't see how controlled on-demand
oil burning is possible. There is no 'control', no way to switch it on and
off.

Oh just checked and the Abiteboul interview was 2017.08.29 (before the
solenoid was banned and before they shafted Toro Rosso) and the Horner one
2018.02.27, before the 2018 season started and reads like a typical RBR red
herring.

I'd have thought that it would be obvious that an oil flow rate of 6 millilitres per kilometre or about 1 teaspoon per kilometre, to be even remotely useful that teaspoon would need to have a *gigantic* calorific value.

However with such a small quantity of oil as an anti-detonation agent or similar there is a possibility it maybe useful.

allowing greater advance and leaner burn.
The rumor is that it is both.

Making of mockery out of F1. Unable to preventing oil burning yet
again, for the 5th year running.
Tell me what ICE does not burn oil and I will you which extremely
large motor manufacturer claims all ICEs burn some oil.
According to Renault some! ICE's - Ferrari and Mercedes - uses/burn six
times as much oil as Renault.
If they can do that on demand, I don't know but I think they can.

In a fuel unlimited qualifying session,
AFAIK there is no unlimited fuel flow.
Post by larkim
why would you seek to gain power
from a fuel source which gains no signficant weight advantages and which
is broadly less effective at delivering power than "petrol" (for want of
a better phrase)?
First I think you are grossly underestimate the caloric value of
lubrication oil, even the ordinary wall marked oil and the do not
use that brand.
Second it is not instead of petrol, it is in addition to.
I reckon the calorific value is probably (almost certainly) of no significance.
Any reason why you think so?
I'd have thought that it would be obvious that an oil flow rate of 6
millilitres per kilometre or about 1 teaspoon per kilometre, to be
even remotely useful that teaspoon would need to have a *gigantic*
calorific value.
Instantaneous use-rates and associated caloric value or combustion
management benefits for a few hot laps could be 40-50x the regulatory
limited 'average', when nearly none is used outside 'party mode'.
Name so much as a single, documented history of any
spark ignited, gasoline engine that ever utilized
the intentional burning of oil (other than normal
consumption) to enhance either performance or
mileage.

However with such a small quantity of oil as an anti-detonation agent
or similar there is a possibility it maybe useful.

Amazing how guys like him think they're smarter than the dozens of
expert commentators who have explained just how and why oil is being
burned in an F1 engine. Heron is smarter than everyone (for instance) at
Autosport, who've only been covering motor racing longer than almost any
of us has been alive.

Oil burns. It may not burn as WELL as gasoline for the purpose of spark
ignition, but we're talking about burning a small amount of oil in with
a large amount of gasoline in a situation where both the oil and the
engine can be designed for the purpose.

exception in F1) for the simple reason that they are allowed to burn as
much of a better fuel as they are able.

F1 engines are LIMITED in the amount of gasoline they are allowed to use
by a flow sensor: 100kg/hr and no more. So for them, using oil—imperfect
though it is as a fuel for spark-ignited engines—allows them to exceed a
limit that is imposed on them.

It doesn't matter that as a fuel it's not ideal, if it allows you to use
energy you otherwise couldn't.

According to Renault some! ICE's - Ferrari and Mercedes - uses/burn six

I'd have thought that it would be obvious that an oil flow rate of 6

Instantaneous use-rates and associated caloric value or combustion
management benefits for a few hot laps could be 40-50x the regulatory

And clog up the workings.  Great.
Does the oil returned to intake manifold of regular road cars by the PCV
valve "clog up the workings"?

No.

And that is using regular old engine oil...

...which I guarantee F1 cars aren't using.

Again:

Normal road cars don't bother trying to use oil as supplementary fuel,
because they have no limit to the rate at which they can use ordinary
fuel. The designers are free to have the gasoline flow at whatever rate
the engine can make use of.

F1 teams are constrained to a instantaneous flow rate of 100kg/hr, so
even if they can design an engine with volumetric efficiency sufficient
to require more fuel than that, they can't add the fuel necessary to get
the benefit of the additional oxygen they can get into the cylinders.

Burning a small KNOWN amount of oil in such situations lets you use that
free oxygen to produce more power. Since the ECU knows what is going on,
any adjustments necessary to ignition timing can be made to compensate
for any change in the octane rating of the mixture of gasoline and oil.

And make no mistake: this is still mostly gasoline. There is nothing
that prevents one from successfully running a gasoline engine on
gasoline that contains a small amount of oil.

Have you never heard of two stroke engines?

If there was no power to be gained by doing this, then the teams that
weren't doing it wouldn't have bothered to complain about it.

That sounds great and could be possible (it was last year on the Ferrari)...
Now tell me, since the control solenoid for crackcase pressure regulation is
outlawed for this year how do they switch this mythical oil burn on and off?
Everything that is allowed (and disallowed) on an F1 ICE is in the regs so
please point out how it can possibly be done.

Or are you suggesting that there's a controllable mini oil injector
somewhere on the inlet plenum that is an evolution of a banjo bolt,
switching internal galleries on and off which, to the uninitiated looks just
like a normal bolt?

Perhaps Toto controls it with the bluetooth on his smartphone so that the
FIA don't find the control circuitry?

There's no flow rate sensor built into the oil system, so the usage is
only ever measured in BULK and against the total distance driven, so you
could use oil at 10 times the maximum allowed rate provided you only did
so for a tenth of the distance you drove.

Well now you are talking about the amount of oil not the caloric value.
Anyway, I don't know if there is a limited flow rate for oil but I don't
think so.

Now we have a race distance of 300 + km = 1800 cc oil for consumption.
Suppose an ICE uses 300 cc they way a "normal" not tricked ICE consumes
oil. Which leave them to use 1500 cc oil at will.
This is a very significant amount of energy from caloric pov alone.

Because the definition of "oil" was not well defined. So you could have additives in the oil that would produce a bigger bang in the cylinder.

If Merc do have a party mode button to use in quali, does it really make any
logical sense for the fuel for that to be oil?
I can see how using it in a race provides a way around the fuel restrictions
which could be advantageous, but surely not in quali?
Happy to be put in my place by anyone with good technical knowledge though,
despite being an F1 fan my knowledge of ICE and power trains is sparse to
say the least.

burning yet again, for the 5th year running.
Tell me what ICE does not burn oil and I will you which
extremely large motor manufacturer claims all ICEs burn some
oil.
According to Renault some! ICE's - Ferrari and Mercedes -
uses/burn six times as much oil as Renault.
If they can do that on demand, I don't know but I think they can.

In a fuel unlimited qualifying session, why would you seek to
gain power from a fuel source which gains no signficant weight
advantages and which is broadly less effective at delivering
power than "petrol" (for want of a better phrase)?
Is the fuel FLOW unlimited during qualifying? I hadn't heard that.
Try reading.
I have. And what I've read says that fuel flow is always limited to
100kg/hr.
Have you got something to add?
No, you appear to have caught up.

Can we just all agree that I posited something which was completely bogus

I believe I read a thread and then you asked a question that had
already been discussed. So I told you to read on and catch up.

So either you had read the thread as you claim and are small minded
enough to go back to the start and ask a question that had already been
addressed... or you were not being truthful about being caught up.

You are at least one of those things.

Making of mockery out of F1. Unable to preventing oil burning
yet again, for the 5th year running.
Tell me what ICE does not burn oil and I will you which extremely
large motor manufacturer claims all ICEs burn some oil.
According to Renault some! ICE's - Ferrari and Mercedes -
uses/burn six times as much oil as Renault.
If they can do that on demand, I don't know but I think they can.

In a fuel unlimited qualifying session, why would you seek to gain
power from a fuel source which gains no signficant weight
advantages and which is broadly less effective at delivering power
than "petrol" (for want of a better phrase)?
Is the fuel FLOW unlimited during qualifying? I hadn't heard that.
Try reading.
I have. And what I've read says that fuel flow is always limited to
100kg/hr.
Have you got something to add?
No, you appear to have caught up.

If Merc do have a party mode button to use in quali,
Toto Wolf said (with a straight face) on Sky after qually that "Lewis only used *party mode* in Q3". So they do have a *party mode* however all of the teams have a similar mode, last year they referred to it as "StratQ" it's only used in Q3, start, in-laps and occasionally for overtaking
Post by larkim
does it really make any
logical sense for the fuel for that to be oil?
I can see how using it in a race provides a way around the fuel restrictions
which could be advantageous, but surely not in quali?
Happy to be put in my place by anyone with good technical knowledge though,
despite being an F1 fan my knowledge of ICE and power trains is sparse to
say the least.

They do not mention such details but it must be -all the time-
or race conditions and I don't know if the FIA is checking
the oil use in qualifying at all.
