Re: Chevy oil filter adapter
Which Gibbs oil are you having trouble with?
I use a mix of the XP3 and XP9 and have not had an issue YET... Should I begin to worry? Thanks Rick Cates |

Re: Chevy oil filter adapter
A local racer showed us a cell phone pic of Gibbs oil as it came out of an engine. Remember late 50's FE Ford motors that had been run on Pennzoil? Looked pretty similar.I could see that could clog a filter.

Re: Chevy oil filter adapter
We used to run the Gibbs oil in our spare superstocker engine. This is a picture of the pan with 10 runs since the pan was installed clean.

Re: Chevy oil filter adapter
Reminds me of old Quaker State 40 years ago.

Re: Chevy oil filter adapter
We run the Moroso prefilter screen that sits on top of the regular filter. If you run this I highly recommend plugging the filter bypass otherwise on a cold start any debris trapped on the screen may head for the main brgs.---Trevor

That pan looks really nasty. It looks like some of my experience with Penzoil back years ago but with more than 10 passes. I use a blend of the XP3 and XP9 and have not seen anything like that yet.... For such an expensive oil that should not happen. What are you using now? I like the synthetic oils and hope to continue to use someones brand of them. Now I am a little worried about my oil. Rick Cates |

Re: Chevy oil filter adapter
I use the Valvoline race oil. I use either the synthetic or non synthetic. Lots of zinc and never no sludge, bearings look great and its half the price of the exotic race oils.
