Joe Gibbs Racing oil?
OK guys, what does anyone know about this oil. It has a lot of hard core race teams (not marine that I know of) using it.
They claim to have huge ZDDP content and formulate it (ZDDP) based on your operating temps among other things such as RPM, HP big or small block and type of racing. These are not formulated for street use.
Any opinions out there for Marine use?

XP 6 is wnat I am looking at due to temperatures formulated for.
Very expensive BTW

The oils cost more and usually you can't tell from a label what's in it...
just and fyi..
Offsore boats are safe with Redline...M-1 and Amsoil motorcycle oils as they are high ZDDP oils.

Hydro,
Any comment on the Gibbs XP6? I read many pages back that it too is Lubrizol product but with high levels of Zinc.
Their claim of being formulated specifically for 280 degree temps is what piqued my interest.

Gibbs makes good stuff....wow a Lubrizol product with ZDDP.
Are they considered mutually exclusive?

Has the Amsoil Series 2000 20W-50 racing oil been replaced with the Amsoil Dominator 15W-50 racing oil? I can't seem to find the series 2000 on the site anymore, so I ordered the Dominator. Any insight Hydrocruiser?

SAE 20W-50 Synthetic Premium Protection Motor Oil Product Code: AROQT-EA
20W-50 Advanced Synthetic Motorcycle Oil Product Code: MCVQT-EA
Dominator 15W-50 Racing Oil Product Code: RD50QT-EA
AMSOIL Dominator Synthetic Racing Oil features an additive package heavily fortified with zinc and phosphorus for superior long-term wear protection
SAE 15W-40 Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil Product Code: AMEQT-EA
All four Amsoil products would be fine.
