I don't use the additive, the list of oil friction effectiveness is what I found interesting. He tested a lot of oil.

I see the Valvoline your using rates close to the top oils, are you using the conventional Valvoline race oil or the synthetic, It appears the conventional rates a little higher.

Thanks .

I'll second all the seconds on AMSOIL. Great products. Have been a dealer for years and have it in everything I own. Their EA oil filters are great also.

An article I found interesting on the subject.

Doing a little research, it seems that these guys are quite a bit cheaper than everyone else -- a case (delivered) works out to be a little less than $7 a qt.

Yup. Great products all around. One of the best decisions I've made.
