    Former Nissan GT-R lead engineer on oil change frequency

    And it shows. I routinely buy jap engines for swaps, mainly ej engines, but purchased 1jz engines, various Nissan engines, etc. I makee it a habit to change the vc gaskets, oil pan gaskets and other related gaskets for a piece of mind . At 50 to 60k miles, these angines look absolutely...

    Looking for oil for Subaru BRZ with FA24D

    I always liked how you log your stuff. You do know your stuff when it comes to that. I wouldn't mind if you put together a step by step video on how you do it, what hardware/software you use, etc. Kind of like a first for people beginning to track. I know I'll watch it as your videos are well...

    Looking for oil for Subaru BRZ with FA24D

    Although I am a fan of amsoil, I wouldn't rely on it to cure your issues. You stated that you don't have a oil pressure gauge, so how do you know you're having oil pressure issues??? Are you just speculating??? How in the hell can people recommend a accusump after reading that comment??? If...

    Amsoil 5w-40 for VW 502 Application

    For what it's worth, I run Amsoil Euro 5-40 in my s4 3.0t. Completely stopped a bit of chain rattle on startup, very minute. That was a relief. I also stopped getting timing pull between cylinders at wot. Can't explain why, it's just what happened. Now I got a timing chain kit and all those...

    Looking for oil for Subaru BRZ with FA24D

    I think it's two different applications we're talking about here, bud. Unless your pops is doing track days and doing donuts roasting the tires at the nursing home. Maybe he is. Who am I to judge. Maybe he's young at heart and doing all that and clapping cheeks and breaking hips at the...

    Looking for oil for Subaru BRZ with FA24D

    Going forward I think I'll limit my internet access until after my 3rd cup of coffee. Apparently colon and either P and O make emojis.

    Looking for oil for Subaru BRZ with FA24D

    Did you try reaching out to the guys at the track with the same engine platform and see what oil they are running??? That would be my first step. Personally, I wouldn't let a Subaru touch the track without a oil pan designed for track duty and a oil cooler, assuming your car doesn't have one...

    Rotella T4 15w40 + Lucas in a 93 Corvette Autocross Race Car

    Race car with AC. Man after my own heart. Careful with the 160 Stat. Always ran 180* in any car that I modified. Just because the water temp said 200 does not mean heat transfer is occurring and the engine is cooler. Personally I saw lower oil Temps moving from 160* to 180* stats. But my...

    Rotella T4 15w40 + Lucas in a 93 Corvette Autocross Race Car

    That's not how any of this works. He can get an oil accumulator all he wants, if his oiling system is working and he's not sucking air through the pickup, that oil accumulator is just added weight. If he was running a flat 4, Ala Subaru, I'd totally agree. Hell, the Evo 10 oil system was...

    Getting extremely confused on what to use in 2021 Veloster N

    I would totally agree and it's the same reply I would type if anyone other than myself typed it. It was the same tank of gas on the s4. We get our fuel from the same station, same pump. I simply don't know how to answer you. Maybe if freed up some rings??? I simply don't have an answer. I...
