    Why so little respect for Brad Penn Penn Grade 1?

    Still not sure what your oil budget is? If it's like most of us lol That's a pretty mild deal so no need for an expensive oil IMHO I would go to NAPA or anyone that cat get you VR-1 in a straight 30W. I'd guess you drive few miles so I'd dump it ever 6 to 9 months. You could spend the $'s and...

    Why so little respect for Brad Penn Penn Grade 1?

    Be honest. If you are a racer you know that very few test oil. What do you race? Have you used the oil I'm talking about? Have you read any other independent oil tests on BP like I shared with you? Most use it because so and so said it was good. In this case the Green deal and link to obsolete...

    Why so little respect for Brad Penn Penn Grade 1?

    They gave me a box of it to try in my race car. I sent off a sample for a VOA and decided it was not going in my 1000hp eng. Racers are pretty uneducated about OIL, as a whole. That has been my observation over the years. They tend to just follow others. I think the decent marketing by BP and...
