But in my years of experience,
In a sense, yes...factory Race Cars did use what could be determined as a special oil
For High Performance type driving, which meant RACE
Typically High Compression/Solid Lifter type valve train etc.
1965 Hemi
1969-1970 BOSS 429
1969 BOSS 302 (I had one)
L-88's
Yeah, that was an expensive oil change!
And you know Robert?
I was doing so good on my projects that morning with my time crunch...
I was trying to get finished quickly to go some where
( I ended up going to NAPA Ha Ha!)
Yup,
Some cars made during the Heyday (1960s and very early 70s) took "Special Oil"
And Special Gas
Oil was typically a Race type oil, like a Straight Weight 50W or 30W
Gasoline was typically a 104 Octane
I LOVE it!
Ha Ha...
I was in a rush one morning changing the oil (Mobil 1) in the Tundra and also multi-tasking BTW
Yup, new filter on, (WIX) and poured the oil in up top....only to remember after the 4th Quart that I didn't install the drain plug!
Ha Ha
PS: thank GOD it wasn't the RAM 2500 4X4...
