    496 BBC roller syn or regular 15w40

    That is a serious motor! Ooof! I’d run a racing 20W-50…big fuel dilution on something that big, and if it’s being raced adds to the stress. I bet that pulls the front tires off the ground on a hard launch!

    New product from STP?

    I don’t understand why they don’t do well, they are stupid-reliable vehicles, hardly ever see them in my stores garage. Have never met anyone who didn’t like their Mitsubishi.
