Very true. I've been using the Rotella/Lucas Oil heavy duty oil stabilizer combo on the same rods, block, and crank for the last 9 years. Have yet to hurt or spin a bearing. The stocker/flat tappet cam has yet to show signs of weakness but I haven't made enough runs to justify the oil combo yet. Time will tell. Much appreciate all the input and opinions on this post though, I will definitely consider putting a better grade motor oil in my stocker, might even find a touch of hp going to a higher performance oil.

Maybe because I’m told they use methanol? Would be my guess.

yes they use methanol and to a previous reply they are 4 cycles not 2 strokes, but between the rpm and lots of laps it holds up well,and im not saying its right but it works and im sure they can use whatever they want .
I just dont understand the statement its diesel oil it cant work ! |

I never said diesel oil can't work. I said diesel oil producers, who blend it, strongly recommended against using it in gasoline engines due to the higher operating RPM, and the possibility of foaming and aeration.

Not sure what you mean by separation, but I stopped using Driven because with every grade and type, both break in and race oils of various weights, we ended up with a ton of thick, grey, gelatinous slime in the bottom of the oil pan, regardless of which filter we used, the premium Delco, the Wix race filters, and K&N. It looked a lot like molybdenum disulfide paste. Can't say if it ever really hurt anything, but I certainly didn't care for it.
