[oldnelly87]

wondering if I can run synethic oil in my methonal race engine? all the guys I run with have always used just VR1 but im wanting to run a synethic

Yes you can,I run it for years and no trouble.

[usafracer]

I run it as well!

Yes run it. Just be careful to not try to extend your change too long. The fuel will dilute the oil if you go too long and you will end up with problems.

Different oils handle methanol differently. I've tried Amsoil and Royal Purple. The Royal Purple doesn't become as dilluted by the methanol as Amsoil does. I go 10 nights on oil changes with my late model and have had no engine issues.

If you're really worried, run it one night and send it off to Blackstone labs and let them analyze it. You can send them a sample of your normal oil also and see the difference between the two. $27 is cheap insurance

Do you know if blackstone has a benchmark for most oils that they compare your oil to? Or do you have to send in a fresh sample and pay an extra 25 to get the benchmark set?

CORRECTION JEFF, ANY OF THE JDR PERFORMANCE CARBS RUN, START, IDLE GREAT!!!

Weather it's 110 or 35 out here my car fires up with just a couple quick taps on the throttle, and stays running without having to hold the rpm up till it can warm up...
