All,<br>
In addition to the public replies, I received a few private ones as
well. I'd like to thank everyone for their input, I consider it
valuable.<br>
<br>
The engine is an older model Ford 351C. I wouldn't expect it to
have the same kind of tight tolerances a modern engine would have.
The majority of clearances on the rebuild came out to within factory
specs, but not necessarily on the "tight" side. Therefore running
something that would work well in a modern tight engine may not be
the best. That removed the 5W-20 from the list.<br>
<br>
The engine is using a hydraulic roller camshaft, with full roller
rockers (fulcrums and tips).<br>
The break-in oil I have is -supposedly- high in ZDDP. The Amsoil
product I'm looking at is also high in ZDDP, no worries there.<br>
<br>
My choice based on non-forum feedback as well as the advice here, is
the 15W-50 product, here:<br>

Re: [TPR] Oil weight opinions<br>
</font> </div>
<br>
Consensus? <br>
AMSOIL sponsoring you?<br>
<br>
Fyi - Jack posted something comparing motor oils in
Newsletter in last few months.<br>
<br>
When JB got a FREE case of Royal Purple at Silver State I
just stole his oil otherwise that liquid gold is too much
money in my humble opinion.<br>
<br>
I've read all the claims by amsoil, redline, royal purple,
etc and I know you and others are loyal users but my
feedback from some pro drivers (JB & the Pope).was
unless you get sponsored FREE motor oil or are turning 7,000
R's for an hour any quality motor oil is fine. <br>
<br>
After my initial break in I did use Mobil One for awhile but
went right back to Valvoline VR1 race oil because I found a
case in back of the garage I forgot.<br>
<br>
I change it after avery orr or track event. Yea I read
there is some advantage to using a oil with a high zddp
content but why pay the.extra$2-3 bucks a qt for that stiuff
but is it worth 6-9 bucks a quart?<br>
<br>
Only if you think so ;-)<br>
