Peugout 908 mistake?

[Furinkazen]

The team Total one has 734bhp, but the ORECA one has 713. I just oil changed both of them...

I noticed this when I oil changed Alonso's F10 and Massa's F10.
Alonso had more BHP for some reason...
Just kidding

Have you driven them at all before the oil change?

I noticed this in my Fairlady collection. One had 2hp more after the oil change, bug maybe?

Has one done more milles than the other? Engines in GT have a running in period where they gain hp and then start to lose it again when they've been raced more, requiring an engine rebuild.

ORECA has 0.0 Miles - TOTAL one has 675. Maybe its because the ORECA 908 was 2009 spec? I wonder if that's the reason?

No you've just covered the reason, the engine in the Team Peugeot one has been run in with those 675 miles, resulting in more HP.

I thought it would go down as you drove it...

This.
Engines get run in after some use, resulting in more BHP.
The same way shoes feel uncomfortable at first but after some use get comfortable.
Or the way a new Rubik's cube isn't as fast as it could be but gets faster after some solves (sorry, just had to add that in ).

I only goes down after A LOT of miles.

 

[Tornado]

It does after a while.

No, initially it will go up in the first few miles as parts break in. I'm not going to go into massive detail, googling engine break in will do that, but in laymans terms the parts of the engine get more used to each other, bedded in and warmed up resulting in slightly better power than the engine that hasn't run. Then over time the engine will start to wear, and that's when it starts to lose power.

 

[Furinkazen]

Ok. Thanks!

Try Jig-A-Loo mate.

Lubix is better

try a screwdriver ... much faster than normal

I had to loosen my DaYan GuHong 540 degrees and clean all the cube dust out of it after less than a week. I ordered Lubix last week.
My new Haiyan Memory came yesterday morning, I've beaten my previous PB of 32.07 (on the GuHong) and now have a PB or 25.93 (on the Memory).
It was already pre lubed with a "simple Chinese oil".
I haven't modified the Memory yet, but I'll lube it with Lubix.
