ATTN: FP Red & Black Users - What You Need to Know About Oil
10W40 is an oil balanced between a race oil and street, reason when say this is because look at the ZDDP: PPM for Zinc= 1378 PPM Phos= 1265, the zinc PPM in this oil may be higher than oils like valvoline even mobil. But the good thing here is that you still have detergents that will keep everything clean in there and free of corrosion.
one thing to remember is that detergent are important the have many fuctions and one of them is keep the internals free of oxidation.

I noticed that Mobil 1 4T 10W40 was on the yellow list and I'm going to search for it here in Oz .
The Zinc and Phosphorus levels are quite high and although its called 4T Racing it does actually have detergents in it .
It isn't cheap and thats possibly because it isn't designed to be cheap .

Off topic, but congrats on picking up Jack's transmissions as a sponsor. My tranny was rebuild by Jacks and
thats correct, AMO 10W40 gives us the best of both worlds at the track and street.

Even though its more expensive, I would rather buy the quarts than bulk oil. Sometimes there can be a little sediment at the bottom of the drum, and you wouldn't want to suck that up if you're pulling oil straight from the bottom.
Thanks bro. Jacks did an excellent job on my Tcase with the ACD removal, and sent it back to me in brand new condition. The tcase stood up to the beating that I gave it on stock motor, and it will do the same when I get my motor built. They also supplied me with the parts to rebuild my trans the first time, but this time I'm going to let them take care of it. Defnitely some good guys over there at Jack's.
Whoa! Time to do the math. Would definitely be beneficial for somebody who tracks their car all the time.
