Same here. Take care. Tom Worthington If it seems that bracket racing has gotten too expensive for you, maybe you are just doing it wrong. | |||

Valvoline VR-1 with Wix filter. Tony Leonard | |||

VR1 Valvoline is good stuff gasoline or Methanol. The Kendall green Brad Penn oil is even a little better (zinc). I was just reading Wix oil filters are now made in Mexico so I wouldn't run a Wix if it were free. I haven't bought a oil filter in 25 years anyway though and I'm pretty sure System One is made in USA, or at least 25 years ago they were. I wouldn't buy another System One either if they're not made in USA. For the OP, this is a System One. I'm changing out an offshore crank for a Callies for a guy and never even bothered to remove the filter housing. The filter cartridge is removed and cleaned, the housing never comes off the block until the block needs bored. ![]() | |||

Driven XP-7 and K&P filter. http://kandpengineering.com/automotive-gallery/ Oil technology is so good today that you can't really find a bad oil. The advantage to the more expensive racing oils only comes into play when you have a problem. If you are using a flat tappet cam then use a good break in oil. Other than that pour in whatever makes you feel good because you can get 50 different answers on oil. I have done my research and have a certain criteria to decide on what I run. You should do the same. Curtis ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

A tall Wix 51794 would be my choice if space permits, they are 8"s tall. Larry 62 Bel-Air 409 79 Cole TR-2 SunsetRaceCraft 565 RIP TRACY 260 Eliminator Eagle XP HP500EFI NO MO BOMA WELL DONE USN SEAL TEAM 6 Proud Deplorable | |||

I agree with this. For those that want to see what is actually in off the shelf oil, this website is an excellent resource. http://www.pqiamerica.com/index.html | |||

^^^ Same here, I usually opt for the blue full Synthetic VR-1, which is really hard to find, (Some Autozone stores will carry it, most will order it for you). Only about a buck more per qt than the conventional version.
I use the Wix 51794, it holds 1.5 quarts. I don't know if they make a long filter for Windsor blocks? The ones I buy are still made in the U.S.A. Whatever you do choose to run, please change the darn stuff once in a while. ![]() I am dumbfounded by how many guys will spend $10-25K on a race engine, and leave the same oil in it all season long. Even if you are a regular 1st round duck, that is just stupid. 25-40 rounds is about my limit, depending on 1/8 vs 1/4 mile, number of warm-ups, weather/season, etc. Dan "Jim" Moore Much too young to feel this damn old!! | |||
