[Land-speed] Oil and Filter Recommendations...

[Ed Van Scoy]

In my application (SBC) I have had good luck with Mobil 1 syn, I have a remote
oil filter and use a large (about 6" diam.) Wix Racing oil filter.

PS you can get Mobil 1 at Walmart in 5 qt jugs a lot cheaper than any of the
parts chains.....

Ok, so I have drained the break in oil (Shell Rotella T 15W 40, from the new
Sunbeam race motor and cleaned out the pan. Now it is time to put in the
really good (read expensive) stuff. I know you folk builkd race motors better
than me, so how about you telling me, and the rest of us, what you recommend
for a filter for race and which synthetic oil you think is best? This motor
has basically all standard bearing clearances and some of the newer metric
piston rings, gap less. Roller lifters, roller rockers, timing chain
Torrington thrust bearing. All pretty standard stuff... Good race journal
bearings.Whadda ya think? Tell me?mayf--
