Valvoline VR1, 20-50, Racing Oil. And add ZZDPlus for good measure.
Change it every 2 races, maybe 3, depends on track time.
Although I tralked with an oil expert about Shell Rotella T in farm =
tractors and Diesels; he said it was as good as any, better than most.
My 2 cents worth.
Another day in Paradise here, 75 and cloudless.
Cheers, Bill
