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><br>Asa Jay Laughton <<a ymailto="mailto:asajay@asajay.com" href="mailto:asajay@asajay.com">asajay@asajay.com</a>> wrote:<br><br>>All,<br>><br>>I'll be running a break-in oil in the Pantera for the next few weeks as <br>>I put as many miles on her as possible.<br>><br>>After that I'll switch to the permanent oil.
