Thread: Engine oils

Tweet

All the ZDDP discussions I've read about made me nervous enough that I use Amsoil Racing Oil which has a good amount of it and it's otherwise a good oil. It might be more like a Personal Petroleum Prozac to ease my mind but I get a decent discount on it from a local distributor.

Pulling the pan this morning gave me a very clear idea of where the break in lube goes if you don't drain the oil while the engine is hot. It's about impossible to get the car high enough quick enough to get that drain plug out. Other then that, the engine innards are clean enough to eat off after several thousand miles. It all goes back together tomorrow then a couple more mods for ease of my 6'4" driveability. Refire should be soon, maybe even this coming week, pending decent weather for a short ride
