I think you nailed it here. I'm beginning to think changing brands will gain or lose E.T. less than a good tail wind. Although I do love oil,oil filters,spark plug discussions,,I already have plenty of Lucas in my trailer, so I should probably save my money and use it. They are our series sponsor. So what about those spark plugs?

All of it is good. I have found one brand won't make any more power than another brand, of equal weight & number of qts in the pan. In bracket mode, I use 10W30 Valvoline Racing Oil, from NAPA. Cheap, and everything inside always look new. Zero W 10 Royal Purple for a tough Heads Up. Worth 5 to 7 hundredths in mine.
Just what I have found.

I understand and pretty much agree that oil is just about the same across the board, although I'm a user of full synthetic lubricants. Added zinc will however, help with flat tappet camshafts.

How do you get away with five quarts of oil in a SS/JA? Can a stock pan actually keep the oil pump from sucking air when you do those wheels up runs?

Beer is a serious subject to me.

And the urine-colored semi-fermented formaldehyde-smelling skunk-piss tasting rice water marketed by mega-breweries as a potable liquid, is not beer.
