Don't know if it is correct, but if it is I may have been spending too much money on oil. LOL

Excellent reading. Very eye opening to some facts and myths.

An extremely long diatribe obviously extolling the benefit of "Oil Extreme Concentrate".

However, that being said, "Your results may vary".

Great article though!

well what oil is the best for racing ????????

The author of the article is very well known in SpeedTalk for a lot of fluff and inaccuracies on many discussions. His statements do not have accurate testing procedures or enough data for his conclusions.

His arguments have been destroyed by many NASCAR and OEM engineers that are members of SpeedTalk.

Adger told me the same thing. He does toot his own horn, calling himself "a highly respected engineer". Not unlike many engineers I encounter. LOL

I second Vic's question. Anyone have thoughts on what oil is best for drag racing? (...and what is best for class racing?)

SSDiv6 · 01-24-2015, 12:35 AM

One of my prefered oils is Amsoil.

My question is will the rings seat with a new engine using the additives?

I have used Amsoil and Valvoline with no problems.
