Fine. I prefer Brad Penn, and they make a big deal about their "cling factor" for precisely that reason. They say:
This unique base oil causes our Penn Grade 1®High Performance Oil to cling tenaciously to engine parts to minimize wear during high engine torque loading and/or periods of heavily stressed operation such as those experienced during competition. This same oil ‘cling’ helps prevent ‘dry-start’ conditions to minimize wear even after the engine has been sitting idle for extended periods. Source:
Brad Penn and Dry Starts
I'm sure Joe Gibbs is just as good, and lots of guys like it; I just prefer Brad Penn... and I like the green color, too.
