Anyone tried running Mobil 1 5w20? I assume there would be nothing wrong with running it.
Stay away from this oil. This picture is from our back up superstock motor a few years ago when we pulled the pan after using the Gibbs XP1 5-20. Had the filter plug up twice on the stocker resulting in no oil pressure. We use either the Valvoline race oil or the Maxima race oils.
