Recommended Engine Oil ?

buzzinhalfdozen · 05-03-2012, 03:33 PM

Uhh.... would any of the many Stock/SuperStock racers that are freinds with 1320 racer care to weigh in here? It seems somehow his expertese in every aspect of motorsports has somehow flown under the radar of mainstream Stk/SS racing how can this be? Is he only allowed to help the New Jersey racers? That hardly seems fair to the rest of us under developed wanna be racers. Asking for someones advice on what oil to use is and always will be personal preference, find someone who runs a similar combo to you and ask them what they're using and if they're happy with the results. If in fact 1320 has a similar combo and has in fact used Mobil 1 in it to his satisfaction then I retract most of my statements.Joe BTW I run Royal Purple cause I like the color.

1320racer.
Just to let you know I pulled the engine out of my super stocker this past fall. It had just shy of 300 passes on it since it's last freshen. The last pass in bracket mode was still more then -1.00 under the index. So some stock and super stockers are more then capable of going that long and turning over 8000 in the lights. Although normally we wouldn't go that long. However, the new motor wasn't done and the engine in the car kept ticking so we stayed with it. We also had a stocker engine in the shop not long ago that was in that neighborhood as well. But, we also have used Mobil1 for years and it always looks good.

Joe...what part of the truth and the facts don't you like?

1320, Truth can be a matter of perception, Fact I've yet to see you post any relevent to the OP's question as I'm quite sure you DO NOT run anything even remotely close to his combo. To have a chance of answering his inquiry you would have to ask several questions, What bearing clearence?, what RPM range? Any mods to the oiling system?. You DID NOT ask any of these questions and know nothing about his oil requirements.... yet you post that Mobil1 is gods gift to engines. If all you have to add is "this is what my make my big block bracket car fly" then perhaps you should instill your obvious massive amounts of knowledge to the local bracket racers. So lets start with some TRUTH, I've asked several times"what class of Super Stock is E ?" So now I'll allow you to spread some "truth and Fact" the floor sir is now yours.... Enlighten us. Joe,BTW as you can see in my Sig. I race SS/BX and your class is.....
