Yes, it was Lake Speed Jr who replied to me. Havent heard back yet.

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!

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.

He does know his oil no doubt. I think he knows I'm just teasing

Lol, you get an A for creativity!

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,

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.
