Im a big believer in not using synthetic oils with nitrous because of several reasons but Brad Penn is only part synthetic and Ive just did a oil change and put the Penn 10w30 in my motor and want to make sure its safe to use with nitrous. Thanks

Synthetic oil is much more resistant to heat and wont burn as easily as conventional oil. Even trace amounts that get by the rings can cause detonation. There have been several threads on the Yellow Bullet about this very subject. I saw a guy make several passes with a Ford at Atlanta dragway that was very fast. I believe it was a drag radial car. He made like 3 passes with the break in oil with no problems. All he did was drain the oil and put in some Royal Purple and hurt it on the first pass with the synthetic oil in it. A lot of poeple chimed in with similar problems and said they dont ever use synthetic oil in a nitrous motor.

We've been running Royal Purple on our motor for 4 years now and we have not made a motor only pass in 3 years! Every pass we've made has had at least a 200 shot of nitrous and most passes have had more nitrous than that and we've never hurt a thing. Of course we only put about 20 passes on each oil change. I wonder if maybe those guys didn't have something else right in their tuneup?

People look at me like I'm on crack when I tell them I run Parts Master motor oil in all my cars....it's the cheapest stuff around here........On flat tappet cam motors, I add a bottle of Comp Cams break in lube......Parts Master oil is actually Valvoline BTW..... If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

I wonder if maybe those guys didn't have something else right in their tuneup? Yeah, go on the Bullet and ask what people think about using nitrous with synthetic oil and see what the response is. A lot of guys on there have the fastest cars in the country and there are a lot of grudge cars on there as well. The guy that hurt his motor I believe has the fastest nitrous smallblock in the country. It was a fresh motor and he had made 3 passes on it with regular oil for break in with no issues. All he did was drain it out and put Royal Purple in it and hurt it on the first pass. There was a big thread on the Bullet about it explaining why you should not use synthetic oil on a nitrous motor but Im thinking the Penn oil is only partly synthetic and would be ok. I guess Im about to find out. LOL

Synthetic oil likes to find ways to hang out in the chamber area and cause problems with nitrous usage if things aren't in good order, as it would with regular conventional oil as well. In my last motor I used some custom blend Royal Purple, but the stuff I was using was almost $23 per quart and I called it water, not oil...... Keep an eye on your plugs; they'll give you early warning and hopefully before you burn it down. Wes
