Re: What Race Oil do you trust?
What everyone needs to do is read the article on speedtalk as it will enlighten you, if your
adding additives you got the wrong oil? I think not, and stay away from moly? almost every
good race oil has moly in it including Joe Gibbs, it says so right on the bottle.
It is the type of moly that matters, it has to be soluble moly in liquid form not powdered moly disulfide. the
oil you buy packaged has a certain amount of zinc-phosphorus-moly and other antiwear
antifriction materials in it, does that absolutely mean it cant be better I dont think so. the oil
companies have to make money on this stuff and the additive package is the bigger expense
not the base oil. Think about it Gibbs wasnt marketing oil til a few years ago do
you think they just used mobil one and said i think there could be something better, they
were adding additives and found something and decided to start marketing oil. Right
now there are prostock guys playing with shelf racing oil and putting there own "secret"
blend of additives in and giving to stocker guys and its supposedly worth .10, i havent
tried it but can tell you there are serious differences in the commercially available race
oils you can buy, check out the article on speedtalk and look at the ratio of additives that
they list and see how your favorite oil placed and who is at the top and how much of each
additive they had.
