lol...

Amsoil, Joe Gibbs, Redline, Valvoline, Castrol all have one thing in common, they use Lubrizol. XOM doesn't work with LZ. Not that it means anything....


Looks like they are improving their website.

Oh, they have something else in common too:

They do not have an OTS grade with widespread use in Daytona, LeMans, F1, NASCAR or any other major racing venue.


Really, they use 100% off the shelf at Walmart oil in those apps ?

Caltex use that trick down here with their sponsored supercar (600HP V-8). They ask journos going for a test drive to grab some 5 litre containers of Havoline 20W-50 and bring it to the track, where they tip it in the dry sump system and go for test drive.


Please see Johnny's Daytona thread. Cases of OTS Mobil 1.

It's the byproduct of pressing petroleum paraffin distillate, a fancy term for the wax derived from solvent dewaxing. Group III+ base oils such as Shell's XHVI (extremely high viscosity index) are derived from slack wax.

Interesting thought... but that same oil has a good slug of III+ (hydrotreated slack wax derivative) which is itself generally a pretty good additive carrier. And its got 5-10% mineral oil to help with additive dispersion too.

Kero would be volatile, or so I would think. Then again, something like Mobil 1 0w-40 has its final process occur in the engine.

Hi,
Gary - you said;

All engine lubricants do! Nothing new there!!!
