we are using 15w50 dominator on our full race track evo 3 , so far weve liked the results , we noticed the car oil temperature is now lower compared to other expensive brands we have used in the past ,

gfng,,, you guys had some heavy requirements for oil's beacause of the high temps and high humidity, and high horsepower.


for the ones wondering what dominator is:

i dont think you need it, if you are not traking your car or at high horse power,,, however there is a 10W40 that would be great for you with the power your at and with the comming up heat here in FL.

its always good to learn,

you know during the past 3 years, i have provided the data,,,,, Analysis labs, charts, testing, testimonials.
now we have the users coming back and backing up the data with their results, its a good feeling to see people like boom29 here on the forums using AMSOIL in a time attack car and with great results.

apagan01,

I am upgrading my turbo from the FP Green to the FP Black this coming month and should be up around the 530-550whp range. I daily drive the Evo and beat on it quite alot, both on the streets and at the track. I currently use SSO 0W-30 as well as MTL and SVG 75W-140 for the tranny and t-case/rear diff. My question is, should I continue to use the SSO or would I benefit at all from the 10W-30 Dominator oil? Very interested in whether this may be a good idea.

The oil is doing it's job pretty damm good. Class One builds 4g63's as well as tractor pull diesel motors with compound turbo set-ups running 100 psi of boost. He said the bearings looked best when running Schaffers vs. AMS oil, Redline, or Royal Purple. The thing to remember is these true racing oils don't have as many detergents as street oil. Because of that the oil should be changed more frequently. I normally change it once a month or every 3000 miles. For cars under 600 whp changing it every 3000 miles is fine. For track cars running race gas with high boost making some serious horsepower, to change the oil more frequently is a cheap insurance policy vs. rod bearings or a bad oil pump from dirty oil.

Also cars running E85 should be running oil suited for Alcohol. Check with the manafacture which of there oil is made for alcohol. Schaffers synthetic blend and Valvoline VR1 racing oil are both recommended for alcohol.
i totally agree..Running valvoline vr-1 on my stroker and it seems to be doing well so far...The fact that it is compatible with E85 is another plus.
