Okay I did a search on oils that people run and my search was less than helpful. I always get the same thing. Brad penn oil... I know that this is good oil and many run this but I would like to know what everyone runs.

So please state the engine your running and what oil you're running.

Thanks,
Thomas

Brad Penn or Raby's new oil are safe bets. I've also heard that Kendall GT is once again available, that's what our local Porsche guru is recommending.

I've run the Swepco oil with no issues, about the same price as BP (a local source for BP only just came available) but it's delivered to my door.

BP 20-50 but just ordered a case of Joe Gibbs DT50 to see if the oil runs cooler.

WOW! Now I understand why all I would see is BP!

Okay,
Are the benefits due to the Zinc? What sources do you use to obtain the oil?

Thanks for everyone's input!

Zinc and phosphorus are the key ingredients. (Make sure it's the green stuff - BP has some other formulas that aren't right for our engines.)

I get mine at the local Summit Racing outlet.

FWIW I documented the results of my research here:

I have been using Lucas Hot Rod oil. 20-50 synthetic with high zinc and phosphorus.

I am due for an oil change so I will be trying the Gibbs DT-50.

Kendall with liquid titanium, GT-1

Been running this 30 weight oil since my 2414cc race motor was built. About 5 hours on the motor between autoxing and hill climbing.
