Brendo Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Not sure what oil to run in the freshly built formula atlantic spec 3k race engine of my old mans, is just being run in atm, from memory its 12.5:1 comp ratio, has big cam, 45mm webers etc etc a long list of work done, is worked to its limit. Would like some advice on oil from people who have owned heavily modified K motors as i am more familiar with turbo import engines, i want to make sure it is the most ideal oil for it as the bottom end rebuild on this was far from cheap. discuss please :) cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwarf Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I used to use Pennzoil. I'd have to look at the container to know which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Probably as may opinions as there are oils on the market... Ask Billzilla, and read 'Bob the oil guy' for background, although I haven't chased race oils on his webpage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
