I was using Castrol 10W30 when my rod knock happend at the '09 convention. I think 10W30 was just too thin for a track application.

I personally think 10w30 is too light an oil for ANY boosted application.

Most people on this forum agree on the oil to use, and most use Mobil 1, so you probably won't get anything from this poll outside of just seeing what everyone runs.


Dam it give it up! They are not paying you are they?.

Yes yes lets start the trend here...not only that, it's like a 2 dollars a quart. Super-tech if you want to sponsor me have your people call my people please, I will rep your oil to the fullest of my abilities.

hahaha i was just stating a fact...take out the "mobil 1" and insert your oil of choice, the statement's still true. I run amsoil, if I spin a bearing that doesnt mean the oil is crap, it just means i spun a bearing.

There is a problem here because most users here use Mobil One. Therefore the likely hood of getting rod knock will be grater then most other brands regardless of the cause.
