Default Re: Best place to buy Rotella

Couple of things to note.


1. It's not at all a good idea to play chemical engineer with motor oil. As described by Lake Speed in the video, you could be literally mixing up something quite detrimental to your engine.


2. Be aware, diesel oils are for engines that do not normally even run at the RPM your gasoline race engine runs at to break in the camshaft if it has flat tappets. As such, the diesel oil will foam and aerate.Even just as you break in your camshaft. Air is not a good lubricant for an engine, especially not a race engine.



3. There are good oils designed specifically to break in your engine, including your flat tappet camshaft.It pays to use them. Brad Penn makes a good one. Among others.





Take from that what you will. Free advice might be worth what you paid for it. Or it might be priceless. Y'all think about it.
