I was running SAE-30 weight with Hughes high pressure additive, but would love to just use a good oil with no mix additive because I've heard alot of mixed reports on mixing stuff to the right additive mixture with different oils. Hughes claims their stuff mixes with any oil, but they don't really recommend what oil brand/weight/type to mix it with. The early bird gets the worm, and the second mouse always gets the cheese.

These detergents fight the Additives for space on the metal. You really need to look at switching to one of the newer, Not for street use oils like Joe Gibbs Driven.

The XP3 racing oil is good for full time racers or cars that get run really hard. Kevin@Hughes 5777070-TheHughesLogofourth.jpg (35 downloads) www.hughesengines.com
