Post # 4 tells you why the SN Plus and the Plus means persay help to combat against LOW SPEED PRE IGNITION for GDI engines. The additive package for the SN PLUS is different than the non PLUS oils. If I recall correctly its way lower calcium additive and an added of something else. |
I always thought regular oils don`t have as much zinc, etc. because of cats and emissions, thats why racing oil was better since we don`t have cats nd need the extra zinc.
On the flip side I thought racing oil didn`t have as many detergents which isn`t good either. I know my engine builder likes Bradd Penn 40 weight oil in all their racecars and he says whenever engine comes back bearings look great. He did not like my 50 weight oil choice even with larger clearances. I used good oil (bradd penn, Mobil 1, schaefers..mostly straight 50) and changed often and my bearings looked like **** .. so I really have no idea what to use lol https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...c8c53145bb.jpg |
^^^^^^ I might have the possible solution coming soon for improved lubrication. ^^^^^^^ I should actually say it is coming but do not have a timeframe as of yet.

I am doing an oil change soon and will let ya'll know if it helps. |

I had hundreds of hours on the bottom ends, 6500RPM's for a bunch of those years. I built them in 2006, 2017 I spent the first half of the year running a gallon+ of water with my oil. (poker run and 2 fun runs) from a cracked block. Mobil 1 15-50 and Mobil 1 oil filters, I ran a few Purolator Pure Ones also. Cold engines larger tolerances, block bypass always plugged, everything goes through the filter. I contemplated for a few minutes about using the bearing over... https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...05d44d09c6.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...8f731bf85d.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...7e4a426d8a.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...7cd281e171.jpg |

Lots of unsponsored YouTube videos are raving about the new line of Amazon Basics engine oil. All the reviews are of the lighter weight synthetic oils which prove to be very good. I'm switching 3 of my cars to the synthetic oil. I bought Amazon Basics 20w50 conventional oil for the '82 Mustang hot rod.These oils have the highest ratings but no one has figured out who makes it yet. Anyway I'm wondering how this new oil stands up to Valvoline VR1 20w50 and if it would be good oil to run in the 525 EFI. Any thoughts?
