I've always avoided starting or getting into the discussions of oil, what's best, etc. Last season I used Kendall, solely because all the circle track guys in my area use it, and it is also highly re

Jack: Interesting. We (Brick, Dentinger, Wismer) use a 'break-in' oil in a fresh engine, and then change to Mobil1 after the first (mild) session. For my part, I was heavily influenced by Dan Wilke (

My independent testing has led me to believe that it is just as difficult to sort the pieces of my broken crankshaft out of Mobil 1 as the major leading national brand. I use what's on sale..........

I used Pennzoil half synthetic for some years. No complaint so far. Most of the other racers are using Castrol RS racing oil. Some use the 0W40 others the 10W60 oil. The 10W60 seems to be better at o

My only problem with Castrol Syntec, is that it's a partial synthetic, not a full synthetic. Local garages sell it as synthetic, which may account for the brisk sales, as it's a lot less expensive t

Years ago, I used an oil from the west coast over here in Atlanta called Torco. It was a full synthetic oil and we used 20w50 weight. We were told a lot of NASCAR teams used it instead of the brands

I used Mobil 1 for a few years, but stoppped not because of failure, but on the recommendation of my machine shop. They told me that Mobil 1 lacks additives to help prevent cam wear. Also that some e

I knew that they lowered the standards for levels of zinc in motor oil years ago, not long after catalytic converters came on the scene. Comparing the numbers on Valvoline's web site to the venerabl

Kendal diesel GT has the highest zinc content by far. It is what the guru has told me to use and do. It comes in a gallon container. Not easy to find. I buy it by the case. And in a pinch can even us

Kendall's web site says it has 0.134% zinc by weight, http://www.kendallmotoroil.com/Product+Data+Sheets/MotorOil.htm Effectively the same as Valvoline VR1 Racing (0.130% by weight) http://www.valvo
