So with such a large multi-vis rating, it might suffer from viscosity breakdown sooner. But if you change it every week or so, that shouldn't be a factor.

I have done a lot of oil testing in my Stockers and for the most part Bob is right. Between the fastest oil and the old Napa 75-100 10W40 Valvoline based dino oil there is .07-.09. In a class car that is a ton but for a bracket car I do not know if I would spend the extra money. I have found RP #9 to be the best compromise for cost, ET, and durability.

When I ran my stocker we only found a couple of hundredths using 5w20 Mobil One over a generic 10w40. When you start getting real light expect to see more engine wear.

RP9 is .02-.03 better than the Mobil 1. The fast stuff we have is .03 better than #9. I have tested a blend of Gibbs oil that is pretty darn good. 1959 Bugeye Sprite 1967 Charger Black L code 1967 Coronet R/T Convert Green 440 auto bought from original owner 1968 Charger R/T Bronze 440 4 spd console AM/FM 1969 Super Bee WM21H B5 A40 D21 N96 1969 Barracuda Formula S 340 Convert pilot car 1969 Hemi Road Runner RM23J D32 Omaha orange 4.10 Dana N96 N85 1970 Super Bee WM23N FE5 V1X 3.91 axle package, N96 1970 Road Runner RM21N B3 V1X D13 1971 MG Midget 1971 Road Runner RM23H GW3, A57 1972 Road Runner RM23P FY1, D21
