    Real or fake? Bathroom mouthpiece

    Exactly. That is why you shouldn't stand near an open cesspool. The gas is poisonous.

    Racing oil filter vs Standard Oil filter

    I was curious about the Fram HP regarding GPM. They filter 10 GPM. So the Fram HP is similar to the NAPA / Wix regular 1060 regarding GMP and micros removed. Fram HP filters to 20 microns vs the Wix 21 microns Fram HP flows 10 GPM vs the Wix 9 - 11 GPM. Both seem to have an Bypass Relief Valve...

    Racing oil filter vs Standard Oil filter

    Just curious. What are you basing that on? I can’t ever recall reading a review on Fram Racing filters. So you may be right.

    Racing oil filter vs Standard Oil filter

    No idea. Run on road courses only like Lime Rock, NJMS, Summit Point.

    Racing oil filter vs Standard Oil filter

    I was discussing Oil filters with my son as we prep the car for a HPDE. I have to add here the car is used 60% street and 40% track events like Time Trials or HPDE’s. If I were to use a regular filter, I would use the NAPA (WIX) 1060 which has an Anti-drain valve. Going to install the 1060...

    Hello Hello. I have a Corvette that was 50% street use and 50% track use on a road courses Like NJMS and Summit Point, etc. The builder (Golen) recommended 15W-50, so that is what I use. I have been using Valvoline VR1, the one that says “highest in zinc”. Valvoline’s VR1 series has been...

    Do you run different oil and filters when you race than when the car is on the street? When I time trial the car at NJMS, I tend to run a WIX 51060R filter and Racing oil. Seems they trade off flow (9 - 11 GMP vs 28 GPM) for filtration size 21 micros vs 61 micros. Racing oil tends not to have...

    Redline CV-2 Grease or Royal Purple 01312

    Again, stupid question, is Royal Purple an Aluminum Complex grease? What is Redline?

    Redline CV-2 Grease or Royal Purple 01312

    Thank you for replies. OK, you guys have raised a few more questions: 1) Why does Redline have an issue with compatibility? I never heard of that. (a lot I don’t know) 2) The idea about two different greases for bearings and suspension. I used Redline when I put my new wheel bearing in. Since...

    Redline CV-2 Grease or Royal Purple 01312

    I use it for my car wheel bearings, trailer and even suspension parts. I can't find much on the Royal Purple like I can for the Redline. So figured I ask here.
