Can of worms here I feel but.

Which oil should I run in my 1.3 xflow locost race car.

Ive got some popcorn in already. Can someone bring some minstrels and coke?????


When i explored similar Q for my car (albeit not a race engine and Pinto) i was recommended good brand 20W/50 and change fairly regularly (ive used Valvoline). For more spirrited harder driving i was told you cant go far wrong with Valvoline R.


Maybe the 750 experts can say what people tend to use at the circuits. Might be worth a walk around some pits and ask the mechanics what they use.

i had a vulcan engines crossflow in my old car, and they recommended valvoline 20/50 racing

I'm another vote for good-quality 20W/50. It's what the car was designed to use, after all...

So a resounding vote for valvoline 20w/50 it is.

Thanks all.

I run Silkolene 5w50 in my pinto. Better lubing at start up with a 5 and 50 will not degrade at higher running temps.

100% recommend Valvoline Racing 20w/50
