Red line oil

[cassellracing24]

It always amazes me how people will spend $40 a a "special" set of carb jets or $50 on "special" plugs or pay $8+ a gallon for fuel to make more power but then they do not understand that they need good oil. It will keep the engine running better longer AND free up HP that they will spend a ton of money to try to find later!

Agree !!

Think I will just stick with Brad Penn.

Deff Agree ....

filter question. we run the wix filter but its the short one. what is the advantage of running the bigger one?

[powerslide]

i would also like to know what the difference is between 51060 vs 51061 wix filters?

[rubbinsracin]

i know we have always ran the short one because it keeps it up off the ground. but other that more volume of oil and a larger area for the oil to filter i cant think of what would be the benefit. and the added volume of oil could only amount to a 1/4 of a qrt or so

The 1060 has an anti drain back valve and the 1061 does not.

use short filter oil wont run uphill

I run AMSoil in my car, change it once halfway through the season...see less wear than when I ran Brad Penn. Has a really...really high burnoff temp, and helps free up some power. Yes...its more expensive...but what if a couple more bucks a quart in oil...when your running a $6k+ race engine...CHEAP insurance.

If your interested in some, shoot me a message! Ill cut ya a decent price.

zinc in oil

if your oil has an API circle on bottle do not use in flat tappet engine unless you add a zddp additive. It does not have enough zinc. Flat tappet engines need a minimum of 1600 ppm of zinc.Race flat tappet engines need 2000 ppm.

I just posted this on another oil question thread.

Here is a great site and forum for oil.

http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/

The Oil Analysis Reports in the forum are really good info.

Redline has a great site. I have a problem buying an oil when the company doesn't openly show the levels of whats in it. This is an impressive oil. Zinc and Phos well over 2000, and a Flash point of over 500 degrees.

Are you trying to give people good honest feedback?? Or trying to sell your product?? How do you know that Redline gives you less wear than Penn?? Are you a machinist?? And how do you know it frees up HP?? Have you compared back to back dyno pulls?? You can look back on my post as I'm sure you will & see that I have never said Penn is better than xxx. Penn,Gibbs,Purple,Amsoil,Redline,Lucas,Shaffers,Mo bil1 all offer pretty much the same protection when it comes to "RACING OIL". Some people prefer Ford\Chevy, some prefer Penn\Gibbs & all can & will win. But when you have Chad Mullins running Penn only in his 9200rpm $18K Modified engines how can you go wrong?? Just saying....

51060 has a anti-drain back valve
51061 does not
A anti-drain back valve is only needed when running a oil cooler mounted higher then filter.....

However !! the non "R" filters only flow a max 9-11GPM (depending on oil viscosity)
As where the 51060R,51061R,51069R will flow 28GPM & are specifically made for racing duty above 6,000 RPM........
