I've been using the Valvoline NSL 10w30 dyno (also comes in straight grades)
in my Spitty 1300 racer now for over a year. Blackstone Labs has analyzed
a sample after two week ends at TWS and reported that it was still healthy
with no contaminates. It's labeled for a 500 mile life span and I get it at
my local NAPA store (they will order if not in stock) for $5.50 a quart in
6-packs.
