The fellow that built the FE for my Cobra, Eric at Preformance Engineering, uses Kendal or Castrol racing oil, 20/50, both non synthetic. He's not a synthetic oil guy. I have been unable to find either of these oils here. But, I have two friends who are drag racers and sometimes run their cars on the street and they use "Lucas 20/50 Plus Racing OIL". I've talked to Eric about this stuff and he said give it a try, as long as it's not synthetic, which it isn't.
I am goina try it in about 200 miles, the first oil change. The API ratings are: SM/SL/SJ/CF. Zinc:11%. Lucas states that it has a high level of detergents. Maybe I'll try it on a load of laundry. I hope I don't sound like a Lucas oil salesman, cause I'm not, I'm just passin on info and lookin for answers. Remember, "The truth is out there". Cya, Jerry
