Kendall GT-1 Nitro 70 in my street/strip car?

[dusterdood]

I picked up a bunch of this oil from an estate sale. I see it's for nitro methane engines. How can I use it in my general performance V8s? How about one quart as an additive at every oil change? it's got a bunch of good zinc and stuff. Or should I just shelf it? My stuff is street/strip big block stuff, but nothing exotic.
Thanks, mike

Unless you are running a fuel engine you really don't have any use for it. This stuff is thicker than severe duty gear oil.

It's a very limited application type product.

Works great in oil consumption/leaking cars. Would be much better than a quart of Lucas or other brand of thick stuff since it is a formulated motor oil, right? I think it's more for cars that dilute fuel, like drag engines.

BTW, I have a friend that used it in the summer in a big step van truck with a worn out SBC, and it helped him have at least a little oil pressure-not sure about FLOW, however, if you know what I mean. He also went to the really tall 10 inch oil filter as well.

I've used Lucas before with great results. I'd be happy if this stuff is that good. Thanks for the info!

The way the used oil in a top fuel engine after a run is really interesting.

Seems like it'd make a good additive/thickener?
