Hi Gang...there's an interesting article about oil in the March 2008 issue

Full Synthetic 15/50 in my Spitfire Vintage Racer..... My Friend Ron 
Chisholm of RM Pacific Motorsports at Infineon informed me that Jay 
Ivey(noted engine builder) reccomends the mobil, or Redline...also, ..The 
Porsche 962 Historic Race Cars that Ron does Track support for.. use the 
Mobil 15/50 full synthetic
