I can believe this hasn't been discussed ad nauseum, but I did a search and couldn't find anything. Time to change oil. Any suggestions as to which oil to use?

3 days of dyno work on the same engine, same load and same temps....
The Mobil 1 ran 30 degres HOTTER than the others. I never saw any HP gains between the 6 oils I tested. Some made the engine seem to rev faster, thats about it... I also tried the Mobil 1 in our FP car directly against a conventional oil and the conventional oil ran cooler! Same day, two differet sessions! |
