I just invested "mucho dinero" in a new dry-sumped Type 4 engine(2056 cc) and want to protect it with the best oil. Any suggestions from my experienced racing friends?

We had a meeting with Joe Gibbs at SEMA. The D40 and D50 products are specially formulated for our air cooled rockets.
I did a bit of research on it and came out thinking the Brad Penn stuff is more hype than anything. The Gibbs stuff showed me what I needed to see, the right additives (as Brant points out... zinc) and a higher temp level before breakdown. Anyone who's had seat time behind any aircooled motor knows that heat kills. http://www.pmbperformance.com/gibbs/GibbsDT50.html |
