Is this a crisis?

My Amsoil guy told be that they had discontinued the TRO 2000 racing oil. I use it in 20w50. In fact he said it had happened a while back and he'd been holding on to a case of gallons for me. I've got a stock, but what about the future?

He tried to tell me that the new racing oil was even better. Is that believable?

 

DO NOT LET KIBORT KNOW THIS.

Under no circumstances should Kibort learn about this.

 

I'll be sure not to tell him.

 

Guys Guys Guys! Who do you think you are dealing with here? Ive known about this potentially disruptive, mystery change since it was first announced last year. I was scared, and only drove my car on sundays after changing the oil. (sometimes saturdays, depending on the race weekend. )
after seeing 5 bar around turn 2 at thunderhill at 80mph for 6 seconds I knew i was safe.
Even felt better after the oil came back witih flying colors on the oil report from blackstone.
RD50 is the secret racer code name. 15-50 racing oil is its name.
enjoy! it has more zinc! more allowed than what the FDA allows per serving. even tastes better and is less carbonated to slam it down fast! Less detergents is the only drawback, so it wont get those grass stains off the con-rods as easily. (just not enough room in the mixture for both zinc and detergents im told ) So, dont let the oil stay in the engine more than 6months I would imagine.

enjoy!

35 race days on the new stroker engine, over 107 on the old holbert engine and still running strong!

Dude, Kibort, ya couldnt' just say

"yea, I know guys, it's a non issue"

 

What fun would that be? In fact, what do we even need to talk about here besides. "identify this part" , or " how do I do a timing belt?" and other REAL questions.

 

You have a very valid point. I'm still trying to figure out if my wheels fit or not.

 

Too late!

 

So the new "Dominator" oil is Kibort Approved? Is there a seal for that, like SAE or Good Housekeeping?

I've still got gallons (Gallons!) of the good stuff in the garage. Hwuh, ha, ha , haaa!

 

Does the new oil increase torque (he asks innocently)?

 

Bad Bob, Bad. Ya just had to stir it didn't you.

 

Who cares! It's all about power.

That'll be in the seal.

 

 

Power is just a derivative of torque isn't it? If the oil gives more torque, then it will give more HP.
