How often? After a certain amount of passes or once every so many months?


Thanks

in a nitrous car, as often as possible. i would do it based on trips to the track, and not a set milage or even passes.

personally, i like to change out the oil every time i go to the track if i am spraying.

nitrous is hard on everything and the oil is included. i see it as cheap protection. its also a way to check to make sure the motor is happy.

wow, I run mine every weekend. I change it once a season...lol maybe 2 times. I just use rotella from napa. and my bearing looked like new after a season, so I just reuse em....

b.d.d.

The rotella is great stuff. They were one of the few still putting zinc in the oil last year or so. I heard they changed their formula and now rotella is just like all the others...zincless. Any truth to that?

I run every other weekend or so and probably change the oil twice a year.

I change the oil every trip wether I made 1 run or 10. Filter too.

200 passes, 3 years, nothing more then valvespring swaps once a year and it's still going.

I change plugs every other season, I should add I only run mid 11ish am na and my short block has never been outta the car, 4 or 5 years now.

I have run 20-50 castrol regular dino oil sincve the 402 went together, and have never had any problems.

The motor will get freshened up and the next go around I will be using rotella 15-40, because it has a little better additive package, and I use the same oil in my diesel pickup so it's now a dual purpose oil for me. I'll probably end up just getting a 55 gal drum of it and call it a day.

Come to think about it. I have a few drums of 15w40 rotella for my diesel water trucks if diesel oil the same for gas motors? It its ok I don't have to worry about oil lol. We used to run the delo 15 40 in them but we noticed a whole lot of differance with the rotella.
