<div>Royal Purple were not one of the 2011 sponsors but
the president of the company like K&N and Ultima who
have been long time sponsors have been pretty generous
with give aways in past...I think (?) JB besides the
free oil also got FREE battery too. JB, was that you? I
got a couple K&N filters for my IR-EFIs which
retail for about $50 bucks a piece which was
cool....since you will be going to Vegas first all the
sponsors will be there soaking up media/mag
coverage...just in case Royal Purple shows up dont get
caught wearing your AMSOIL DEALER tshirt ;-)</div>

<div> No it's not free. :)<br>
I've been using Amsoil in all our rigs now for a few
years. I used to be a dealer 25 years ago, but dropped
it some time back. After nuking the old engine in the
Mach I (the really old engine I rebuilt 25 years
ago)[1], and reading everything about the lack of ZDDP
in modern oils, I switched back to Amsoil.<br>
<br>
Yes, I wish it were free, but trying to find a
sponsoring dealer might be a bit tricky. Does Steve get
-his- for free? I guess you could say I'm sponsoring
myself in that regard. :)<br>
<br>
Asa Jay<br>
[1] I believe the largest contributing factor to nuking
the Mach I engine was using "modern" SL grade engine
oils with hardly any ZDDP.<br>

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>

<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>
