Default Re: What Race Oil do you trust?

There was a good post on speedtalk a while back about VR1, and a guy on there who
is a independent oil analist/engineer tested 50 top oils for lack of wear #1 ding ding ding
Pennzoil Platinum, then amsoil dominator then lucas racing oil!!! Now with real world
racing experience i will say there are quite a few oils that perform well for anti wear that
are not fast but will keep your stuff alive. As far as fast oils you got Royal purple, Red line
Gibbs, Lucas and im sure some others, one thing i tried that was reasonably fast was
using 4qts of kendall conventional 5/20 with 16oz of lucas breakin additive. I have used some of the other high ranked anti wear oils with good success for keeping stuff alive
but performance suffered considerably, i can say for sure that there is a solid .15 to .20
from best to worst.
