What kind of oil do you guys run and how often do you change it?

Valvoline 20 w 50 Racing oil, every three races, filter every oil change.

Same with us - Just make sure it's the VR-1. This still has the zinc wear protective additives in it.

Ive been using cen-pe-co oil 20-50 now for a couple years and its been awsome there big in tractor pullin....every 2 races

Whatever you use, make sure it has the zinc additives. Many of the companies had to switch because of the new govt. laws which caused a lower zinc level. If it is marked racing and NOT FOR STREET USE, then it should be fine.

Some I like:
Red Line
Alisyn
Royal Purple
Joe Gibbs
Champion

Cen-pe-co is another I have heard is good.

Redline synthetic 40WT (15W40) changed after every feature race, with a new filter.

I run the 20-50 Lucas Racing oil in my mod 405

I seen the woo show from charlotte and did the interview with carl kinser..he said they use like a 17w-85...is this true ...wow

How is the best way to buy oil to get the most bang for the buck? Do you buy in drums or by the quart? The oil seems expensive to only be used for 2-3 races. How much oil does a Sprint car hold?


Thanks for you patience.

I've used the CEN-PE-CO 20-50 also, no problems, just seemed to milk a little quicker, but cleared up as soon as the engine got some heat in it, no brg issues or anything, typically use Castrol GTX, 20-50, and no problems with it either. Rather not comment on Valvoline, altho some are going to it, since they started adding the zinc or whatever back in. Bob
