Re: 454 oil?
Here we go....:facepalm:
Hmm.......my 454 has roller followers........
Whew.......dodged that bullet!
I know how oil threads can be.
I used to be one of those that used the inexpensive conventional and changed it often.
I then got some behind the scenes experience at full on racing facilities with machine shops, dyno rooms etc.
I have seen more than one successful racing team, that has a substantial oil manufacture sponsorship including pallets of free oil, take brand new bottles and empty and clean them only to be filled with mobil1. They then could be seen at the track changing or adding oil that appears to be a brand that it is not.
After having built, assembled, raced using it and other more expensive "boutique" synthetic oils the difference in the wear of lack of it is nothing short of amazing.
Just my .02 and where i am coming from.
Most people who bad mouth expensive oil are just too cheap to use it and have no actual experience to base there opinion on other than " i have always used xxx and never had any problems "
