What Race Oil do you trust?

[Wade_Owens]

Thanks for all but one of the replies, (Monahan), not looking for a go fast oil, just something reliable. I have heard good things about the Amsoil. Anybody else running it besides Myron and having good luck?

Geno, after doing a 10 day stint, 3 years running, (BG points race thru US Nats), I've learned that your full of it, in a Brockton, Mass sort of way. Finish your Jamesons, black coffee and filterless cigarette and get back to work!

Wade, Gulius is having us run it. ( Amsoil Dominator )
I believe it's his choice for all his customers.

Brad Penn 20W50 ( but I do warm it well)

we used to be 100%RP for a very long time switched over to JG several years ago
Joe Gibbs XP-1 in my SS car full time XP-2 full time in Beth and Tony's stockers have never looked back since
if you ever get to a performance trade show or a race that they are at spend a few minutes speaking to Lake Speed jr and you will be very enlightened

I have used Special of the week oil- Pennzoil- Mobil 1-Pennzoil synthetic-Royal Purple over the years. I switched to the AMSOIL DOMINATOR 10-30 3 years ago. It saved me 2 motors from a pickup falling off in my dragster and a broke oil pump shaft in my camaro.

One other thing is consistency. Lot of oils will get quicker as they break in. Amsoil does not. It runs the same whether it's Fresh or has 100 passes on it.

I used to use the Joe Gibbs XP-1 5-20. Never again. Extreme sludge created by this oil pluging oil filters. Just about cost me an engine. Now I use 10-30 Valvoline race oil. No issues and runs clean.

I just started using the Amsoil Dominator Racing 10W30 this weekend after finishing with the break-in oil, Brad-Penn 30W. I've noticed that the oil pressure has increased over the conventional oil, so much that I may have to go to a 5W20 to keep the pressure down. I'll know more after the first change when I can compare each oil.

The Joe Gibbs oil does not deal with blow by, fuel, or moisture very well, it forms a nasty gray gelatinous sludge, as you described. Uncontaminated, it does fine for us, we use XP-2. I'm not convinced it is all that fast, and I've never had bearing problems with other oils, so I can't say the Joe Gibbs is doing any better.

Insiders with NASCAR teams tell me the Joe Gibbs oil does not get along with some of the various coatings, especially some of the DLC coatings. Having a DLC coating failure is catastrophic.

We saw a measurable HP loss with Valvoline 10W-30 race oil, compared to the thickest Joe Gibbs break in oil.
