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?

OT... sorry this is a rant from a different thread
but.. I only change brake fluid once a year NEVER have to bleed at races (even when we ran in july this year with 2 drivers back to back, 250oil, and it was 130+ on the track. Plus I set my personal best that day and we always run hoosiers which will out grip most tires) its only ATE fluid... nothing magical... the best part is: I HAVE NON VENTED REAR ROTORS and still don't over heat the brakes thus I do not believe that vented rear rotors are necessary for race cars.... (of our hp) I honestly believe that unless your over 300hp you're braking too much if your EVER over heating your brakes |
