Usually a lemons engine leaks more oil then it burns. Unless you're running at redline all 8 hours, any good oil will work just fine. We usually put a good synthetic (M1 10-40 high mileage) in initially, then top off with mobil 10 40 high mileage dino during the race. YMMV

Mr. Gofast, "Car and driver" ran an S2000 in SCCA T2 competion, using the logic that it was a nimble car with great power to weight, and should dominate the class. IIRC, they were thoroughly trounced by LS1 powered camaros. Do some internet research, it should show up. Some time in the late...

Got 175k on ours (99 mtx). was my daughter's till 80k, mine till 160 k, my sons at present. Always used 5/30, havoline, pennzoil, motorcraft, mobil 5000, and a couple of high mileage oils. FL 400 or Supertech 8316 IIRC. OCi every 5k, per the book (long OCI), still doesn't burn enough to add...

I just ordered the ned-deal. I used it for the first time recently on a lower ball joint. a few hits with a hammer and no pickle fork required.

no oil temp gauge, but there is an oil cooler at the filter. There's also cooling on the turbo housing. Race is in June, I'm guessing mid 80 to low 90 temp. I'm loving this car too. During track time, it ran, braked and turned in great. Suspension is a little soft, but it'll have to do.

I'm running the car in a 24 hours of lemons race. 171 k miles, about 30 k on rebuilt bottom end. Took it to Shenedoah and after about 60 minutes of flogging, no oil loss. I'm looking for something good to throw in, as well as trans fluid for the t5, and gear oil (w/ posi additive?) for the 8.8...

so how about DELVAC1?

I picked up 2 jugs truck/suv at Wally World for $19 each, and was wondering, since this is supposed to be delvac, shouldn't it last practically forever in a non diesel application? I've got a 4.3 s10 w/ 213k miles, vortec powered 99 suburban w 90k, 99 camaro SS w/ 46k, 2000 Z28 w/ 28k, and 2...

I wasn'y implying to go w/ a 5w oil, but to say a dino oil would last 6200 miles. 15w40, I'm sure would get them there. A higher quality 10w40 would probably even do the trick.

Like Ray, i was going to point out that it's only 6200 miles. I ran QS 5w30 in my S10 180,000 miles on a 6000 mile schedule until joining BITOG, and have since switched to pennzoil. The S10 still doesn't burn a drop of oil w/ 212,000 on it. So... Go with a good quality Dino and change the oil...

Is that group III, IV, or V water? And where do you get havoline synthetic for 1.99/ qt?

syntec 18.88 5qt, M1 22.47 5 qt. I guess that if the castrol 0w 40 was there, it would be a no brainer, but there's only 5w, 10w. Same for the others. BTW, the rotella is 5w 40. I put oil into 2 LS1 camaro's, a Vortec suburban, 4.3 liter s10, ZX2 and ZX3 fords. The last 3 get pennzoil dino...

TIA.
