As much as we all hate oil threads... here's an oil thread.
What's the latest on race oil for a 4 cyl. Mine's dry sump, dual coolers pretty heavily built 2.6L It holds roughly 10 qts all told. I've used Amsoil racing in the past, but it's gotten $$$$$. Locally I can get most of the LiquiMoly products. I've run that in my (street) 911 and it's quieter and leaks less. I've also run the Brad Penn products, which are now called something else. I can also get that locally. Many like VR1. I've never tried it. Thoughts? Thanks! |
