Oil for 2.2l ecotec
 

Hey everyone, still new to midget racing and new to the forum, and am looking for some suggestions on what oil (both weight and brand) to be running in a 2.2l ecotec engine for a D2 USAC division.

Prior owner had been using Mobil 5w-30 full synthetic, but have heard from guys running other engines (Quad4) to used something heavier. I also don't know anyone else who owns one of these engines.

I'm also a big fan of Schaeffer's Oil, both in my personal vehicles, and in past race cars, and was curious is anyone has used their oil for alcohol-fueled race engines.

Thank you for any and all suggestions.

The heavier oils like 20-50 will hurt horsepower. Schaefer’s brad penn etc will fit the bill just fine. These engines carry high oil pressure to begin with.
