"Oh, that's the 0.5 weight stuff." I'm like, oh my gosh, and it's just going crazy. Headers are glowing red. You take the engine apart, and the bearings look brand new. So it is absolutely a myth that you have to run 50-weight oil in these cars nowadays.

Just think, you heard it here at the inception of BITOG and before that at Noria 6-7 years ago.


Now Rusty, if you would add about 5%-7% by volume using LUBECONTROL and periodic AUTO-RX post race cleaning we could lower the wear even more over the stock racing 0w5.....

Go ahead Terry, here's your opportunity to gloat.

That's pretty cool. Old habits die hard. With me too, I'm afraid. I wonder what the date is on that interview, I didn't see it on the site.

ccdhowell, it's from 2003.

ah, but the all important questions are:

1) how much flow does his oil pump produce?

2) at that flow rate, what is the psi?

3) how many quarts (gallons!) of oil does his dry sump hold?

4) what is the temp of the oil coming off the crank scraper versus that sitting in the dry sump?

5) what kind of filtration is done on the oil?

6) how large are the oil cooler(s) and how big a temp drop do they give?

just to come up with a few

sunruh, no good deed goes unpunished. Your homework assignment is to find the answers to all the questions you listed.

Somebody needs to hook GoldenRod up with these guys. They obviously don't have a clue since they're using that nasty "X1" stuff.I'd bet seals on a NASCAR motor are expensive to replace after all that "X1" destroys them.
