Is there a preferred engine oil that you use with Methanol? I have just switched to Methanol.
Thank You

I run Amsoil Dominator racing oil. Biggest thing is to make sure the oil is compatible with methanol. Not all oil is.

Lots of oils work with Methanol. I prefer Driven GP-1 but I know of many people using Valvoline VR-1 also. Mark above uses Amsoil and you will get a ton of different opinions on this.

I won't however run the Driven full synthetic with methanol any longer because it drains off so well that I had rust problems on my valve train parts. It will make more power though. LOL

Schaeffers, micron MOLY, made for methanol, I watched on a dyno for a 410 sprint car, several high RPM pulls and oil pressure and oil temp hardly changed. I have been running it in my 588 for awhile now, no issues

Valvoline VR-1 here. Nothing special, available everywhere.

I’ve used Penn Grade, Schaffers, VR1, Mobil 1 and for the past 3 years Maxima full synthetic in sbc. 10w30 is the weight I choose. No milking or moisture in my oil ever on methanol as reported in the oil analysis every year I have done. I think most any race oil is good.

Walmart synthetic 10w-30.

I’ve posted this before but thought it might be of interest to the OP.

Hot oil....If you get the motor oil hot enough the water and methanol don't effect your oil.
