changing oil

<< < (2/3) > >>

T48:
 ;D  Well, to explain, EDavis, we blew up two engines before we ever got to a heat lap - the older one that came in the car, and the new rebuilt one.  So we had no time on the engines for a scheduled oil change.  I'm happy to say we have 4 races under our belt now with the newest engine running fine (knocking on wood), and we do change the oil after every 2 races.  ;)

Welcome to the board, by the way!

I change mine every 2-3 races, my friend changes his every race so I guess it's to each his own, I wouldn't go more than 4-5 races personally.


Good Luck.

My builder told me to use 25/ 50 Pennzoil Racing oil and I change it after 2 races.  We have an other driver in my group that has run this combo for about 8 years with NO engine fallures and he is a track camp.   Sounded good to me, so I picked up a motor from the same builder and talked to the builder on the phone for about 30 minutes. about oil.

 8 years with no engine failures is a good track record. If that's what your engine builder suggest in his engines, I say Do It! After 30 minutes on the phone, I'll bet you were only scratching the surface of the "Great Oil Debate".
 Like many other questions in racing;  Ask 10 different racers, and you will get 10 different answers.

 Cheers!

I go 2 nights on my oil using Amsoil synthetic 10-40 motorcyle oil. I was using Valvoline 10-40 racing oil and changing every night, but the oil smelled burnt after just one night. Switched to the Amsoil, and fell more than comfortable stretching it, even did a 3 night weekend with no change with no problems...oil temp was a bit cooler too.
