I did a search over at pelican, and read that one engine builder "hates" mobil one, and it is not good for the type4. I use it, and I know a lot of others who use it. I'll throw some poop in the pot...

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Jul 22 2003, 08:19 PM) I'll let all of you in on a little secret: The dyno is not the end all to all of our questions.. honestly.. it's not even close to real world. Its a controlled enviroment where HE (Jake) has total control over the enviroment. RIGHT ON THE NOSE, BRAD!!! The dyno is a great tool, but it is hardly real world. No doubt that Raby is a good builder, but some of his claims are a bit out there. He also uses high CR ratios, which do increase HP, but also shorten engine life. Some of it is also just sales hype. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) My first gig was working as a video tech for a company that did all of the General Motors QC videos and I was in the GM dyno for a whole day. They will dyno a single engine for days, sometimes weeks at a time, under every load condition, computer controled, enviroment controled etc, etc...as real world as they could make it. Then they tear the engine down and spec everything. They scrap more engines than any small shop builds in a single year. On the oil issue everyone has their fav's...just keep it clean.
