Do you use 10W-60 oil ?

[blu guzz]

Since the book calls for 10w60, I use it.  It is only 2 quarts anyway so I figure it must be important.

How about this one ?  Is this good stuff ?

An oil thread, and only four pages ?

10-50 Motul was the only thing even close that was available locally. correction, you say NAPA Carrie’s 10-60.. I’ll use that next time. The Motul was a pretty big investment so I’m not draining it when new.

A good video on racing oil.

The entire site is helpful.

At 110K on a 3 year old 98 EV I had the oil analized with 3,500 miles on the oil and 10K on the filter. It said it was good only the sulphur was high and I should change the oil. I used to take connecting rod sleeves to rallies and show what they looked like at over 1ooK. You could hardly see the wear. "Why did you change them?" I was asked. Only so you could see how little wear there was.

Racing data doesn't prove squat to me. I'm not running the motor at max rpm. I want my motors to last 100K plus and many of them have.

Now why did I waste my time on this post?

Huzo if you read this , throw that god awful jacket in the bin . 

I only had it made as a bit of a joke for Mandello last year.
I could have sold it many times on that trip for a MAJOR profit but clearly did not. I think it reflected my character in that it eschews any form of gratuitous self promotion and carries itself with a understated and quiet dignity…
Also I love it when people say they don’t…

How do we really know that's not a deep fake you made up, while siting on your bed in your mom's basement?

Not possible, his Mom doesn’t have a basement…

I new it!!   Maybe now you can admit that the world isn't round too, you ratbas@rd!   

Actually it’s spherical or more correctly, oblate.
