guys...TRO 20-50 racing has been discontinued for over a year now!!! The "new" version is called RD50 or 15-50 "Dominator" racing oil....I have been using it in all my 928's for years including the race 928's I have ran it up to 18 hours in the "estate" (84 4.7 USA with no oil cooler), seen oil temps as high as 300F during the 18 hour oil change stint and the oil still came back with perfect oil analysis...... During my last track day a couple weeks ago, in about 97F heat I saw oil temps barely touch 265F and it always holds great pressure (I attribute this to the OB style pan and pan spacer)....

Brian, don't worry about it. Kibort already approved for us.

yep, no issues with coolers, breathers, catch cans, accusumps, scrapers spacers or anything else, as long as you run amsoil. (not having any of them that is! )

I don't think it's the power, per say, that we are after. It's the throttle response.
