who said I wasnt running the AMS baffled pan?!?.....

 

We are working closely with boomn29 and his racing efforts, we are about to sponsor his car,,, so he will get oil's from AMSOIL

 

Well, I did buy a truck and trailer in the past 2 weeks. So I'm not saying my Evo will be a trailer queen but it'll be treated nicely in route to the track! I know there's some even stronger racing type oils that we can look at now. Whatever the case, I'll be sure to document everything to share!

Heck yeah!

Andy's been great to work with thus far. He talked my ear off the first time I called a few weeks back wanting a better, safer grade of oil!

 

boomn29 , i know we reccomended the 10w40 and AMS also did recomend it, it is a great oil and now that you are towing the car thats even better.

however if there is place to improve you engines situation with the best oil posible we will work with you very closely to make that happen.




i know i can get a little talkie there
but i is my duttie to ensure i provide you with the propper information

like i said before your sponsorship is being worked on as we speak, i will let you know when we need anything from you as far as info

 

I've had the flicker come up even with Mobil1 10W40. Are there any known issues with Redline 10W40?

 

Got some temp updates for ya:

This is on a ~300whp car running an AMS pump gas tune, 3" exhaust and a heatwrapped downpipe:

1) Mobil 1 5w30 - Ambient 95 - 3 hot laps - 262-268 degrees peak
2) Mobil 1 5w30 - Ambient 75 - 3-5 hot laps - 255-262 degrees peak
3) AMSoil 10w40 - Ambient 85 - 8-10 hot laps - 245-255 degrees peak

Maybe my car likes to run 262 degrees; I dunno. I captured some of the oil when I pulled it last month for scenario #1 and will be sending it into Blackstone labs for some feedback. It looks to have ran a little cooler with the AMSoil 10w40, but that might just be because it's thicker. I'm more concerned with what protects me up at those temps and I have a feeling AMSoil does the trick better.

I've got a big order into AMSoil for their RD 10W30 which is their Racing 'Dominator' oil. So I'll send report back in August.

 

Looks like great results, looking foward to see how the temps respnd to the Dominator AMSOIL 10W30

 

Told ya I had a rather big order......

 

racing oil is quite important, definately in summer time when temperatures are rising quickly.

 

Lab report on the Mobil 1 5w30 came back. Anyone help me make sense of this?

 

we have now switched to Motul 300V 20w-60 in our 2.3 liter...

we were using amsoil (through a sponsorship locally)... now we are using amsoil in the drivetrain and motul in the trans!

^^^chad, how does the motul do in the trans? i used all motul fluids in my 350z and had good experiences with it, but no one in the evo world seems to use motul. any thoughts

I have used both Motul Gear 300 and Amsoil MTG in mine. Both seem to work quite well. Amsoil may be a touch less notchy when its cold. I change mine really early but in the end Amsoil is a good amount cheaper.
