    If you cannot find a dealer in Kansas, you can order it from SummitRacing Equipment and they will ship it to your door. You can order it in one gallon containers.

    Racing motor oils are like a martini, As James Bond said, shaken not stirred please,

    Many oil additives like zinc phosphate are heavier (density, not pour point) than the oil they are added to hence they will settle to the bottom of the bottle over time.

    Oil

    We switched over to Torco Oil this year and found a noticable difference. Would swear by it that it is as good or better then any oil out there. Have a distributer that is really good and can ship to you.

    No one running Lucas 70??
    We run it in our pulling tractor (KB w/ BAE heads and Kuhl 14-71 blower) and could not be happier... Zero wear and tear :)

    Brad 50 here... just fill a bucket with hot water and let it soak for about 10 minutes, then shake, makes it a hell of a lot easier to pour.

    We had real BAD main bearing problems last year. One lap and done. Went to a differant bearing and Brad Pen Nitro 70 and ran 10 or so laps and show no problems. Could be the bearing switch or the oil ??????? don't think its worth changing to find out. Yes it sticks to everthing I swear it follows you around the pits but it gives a new flavor to track hambergers.

    Bearing clearances

    What are the typical bearing clearances you are running with a 50wt and 70wt oil?
