[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3565725, member: 15054"] I am oil picky I need stuff for flat tappet cams and I have not had my recipe fail me since 2007. That is when the oil ZDDP levels went to crap and I had 2 back to back flat tappet failures. Mobil 1 synthetic was what I used to use and about that time they dropped the ball and my MPG went 6 MPG less and engine got noisy That was the Corolla and I switched to T6 until they reformulated. The additive package for the VR1 silver bottles for 10-30 or 20-50 are the same and I mix the 2 weights. Been doing it for 2 vehicles and over 150,000 miles with NO issues and no lifter failures. I get close to a 15-40 when I mix them. The vehicle I need it for currently is my 57 chevy with the 1969 350" that has over 400,000 miles on it. Freshened up a couple times and I have experimented with many cams and heads in that engine. A video of it at the track and another one figuring out I had point bounce at 7000 rpm. Racing my buddy in his 2015 550 Wheel HP supercharged mustang. My timing slipped to 28 total No top end pull on my part. I still won. [MEDIA=youtube]fB0vQECFAzE[/MEDIA] The point bounce. 7000 RPM [MEDIA=youtube]c_rpV3Z7iFE[/MEDIA] That is what I use the VR1 in and my 47 dodge truck when it does not have a hole in the block :) [/QUOTE]
