Title: Engine oil?
Post by: Team510Racing.com on February 19, 2010, 02:38:20 pm

Can you run any oil? What is the best oil for these motors... I would think go-kart racing oil would be the best... How often do u change oil? Let me know what ya people think...

Thanks Paul

We have had excellent results with Mobil 1 5w20.  Be sure engine is thouroughly broken on on non-deturgent or normal oil before using any synthetic.  We use 28 oz (total including the filter) rather than the full quart.

I use Pennzoil 30weight. I use a little less than a full quart. It works fine for me but I don't know how much faster it is for the motor cause I used it in a old motor.

I'm using the Valvoline 5w20 synthetic in my Kart.

When you fill the oil only fill it till it touches the dip stick not to the line only touching the bottom or else it will splater every were
