Let's make it simple. What kind of car do you drive? Street or race? What sticker does your street car have right on the oil cap? Don't F* with that.

Philosophies may differ, and I can accept that. But sometimes you just have to realize that we are not all driving F1 cars. I just had this conversation the other day. How amusing.
whoa...whoa..put down the guns.....this is not a "your wrong" post, I am just passing along some info. This has nothing to do with F1 cars....and I am very aware of the fact that we are not driving racecars...this has nothing to do with that. It has to do with breaking in an engine with synthetic oil, and if it was a good idea, than I'm sure the racing community would embrace it, but the majority of top level professionals do not.

Just asking a few simple questions. Don't build my post up to be something it's not. Thanks.
