Yeah HPR40 mineral. If you use a full synthetic which is too thin I find my setup just breathed too much while racing.

ur cars got plenty left in her.

well done

I use brad penn 20/50 partial synthetic the green oil

vin-vlt · 14-01-16, 06:32

i use HPR5 and change it at every 1000kms. (directions from engine builder)
I also run an RB25 oil pump.

vlturbo33 · 18-01-16, 19:25

I also use the Penrite 25-70. Its a mineral oil.
If you read the back of the bottle its the only one I found besides the big dollar race stuff that is E85 compatible.
I change oil every 4 tanks of fuel so around 800-1000kms max

vlturbo33 · 02-02-16, 19:02

Cheers man, should have a 9.6-9.7 in it with my new convertor (turns out the one that was in it was in several pieces on the inside)
I normally leave on around 15 psi but have let it go at 20 psi a few times. Standard rear end is still alive after around 25-30 passes =)
