http://www.drivenracingoil.com/dro/m...motor-oilhtml/ I sell it and use it as well. |
A freakin wealth of info he is. He is a cool dude. Of course he does not know me like a friend or buddy, only knows me by sight as I have hung out with those guys, plus sit in on his seminars every year and will again in this Dec in Indy. . Like I said before he does not slam Driven oil down your throat. Actually he owns a % of the company along with a couple others. I bet they are away getting stuff ready for SEMA.

Yes, I've watched some of his youtube videos. Very informative.

I was googling marine high performance engine oil, and came across this? Looks interesting! :frog:

I think the later it gets the funnier you get. How did you make that ad ? Actually funny. Really I think Borgie is really trying to help out. He does know a lot and really wonder what he does for a living as he said he works 2 jobs. Really he is just trying to help out. For my case I am just bored most of the time - long story
I knew you put that heavy wt redline oil up there for Borgie to look at. Like this site needs more trouble up here. |

From Pennzoil . No question from them regarding clearances in the engine, like the man from Driven (Gibbs) oil asked before giving his recommendation.
Hello. I was wondering which of your oils you would suggest for my application. It is a high performance marine offshore engine. It see’s frequent full throttle run times. Engine is based off a 454 Chevy engine, making around 650HP. The operating temps range from around 60* pan temp at startup, and full throttle temps are between 190-220*. Thanks, Joe Thank you for your inquiry on the marine oil application. Pennzoil Marine HD 4 Cycle 15w-40 is an excellent lubricant for application. If you cannot find this the Rotella Triple Protection 15w-40 is an alternative. If you have any further questions please call our hotline at: 1-800-237-8645, option3, 2. Sincerely, Pennzoil Technical Information, ds Then I got a response back from Gibb's/Driven racing oil after I got back to them with the bearing clearance Joe, Thanks for the details. The MR50 is a perfect choice for that application. It has corrosion inhibitors for storage as well as more ZDDP for increased wear protection. It is ideal for that application and environment. Thanks, Lake Speed Jr. Certified Lubrication Specialist & Oil Monitoring Analyst Driven Racing Oil |
Then I get this back from amsoil just now. So far 3 big oil oufits, recommended 3 different grades of oil. And we wonder why we argue amongst ourselves!
Joe- AMSOIL would recommend using product 10W-40 marine (WCFQT). Thanks, |
I already knew Driven 100 % not even 99% would tell you.
