The Official Hot Rod Thread

[Bigtanker]

Some engine builders are using Rotella 10w-40 diesel oil in their HP motors due to the added zinc in them. The owner of Pittsburgh Power, a very good heavy truck shop, has a few hot rods/race cars and that is all he uses in them.

The Zinc additive helps break in the cams and keep them alive.
Zinc has been removed from a lot of oils as it is detrimental to your catalytic's.

When do we start the arguing over oils? I'd like to get that over with so we can get right to the cheeseburgers.

to keep your car running like a Swiss watch.

That is hilarious.
I ran Mobile 1 in every Hot rod I had since I found it was the oil of choice by every race team like......."Ever"
We ran it in the Indy cars. We ran it is the GTP corvette. We ran it in the top fuelers. Everything I ever stood close to with a wrench had Mobile 1 in it.
I ran it in my Harelys and my street strip race bikes. Always.
It is the absolute best oil according to every engine builder I have ever known and that is a fair group of folks.

We ran it in this....

I am offended. Bravo. I'll take my cheeseburger with bacon.

 

[RustyHornet]

Speaking of which, I had a really good bacon cheeseburger tonight...

And sadly CM those cars are now just memories today because you used Mobil 1. If only you had used Moebius 8000/4 , you would have a driveway full of cars instead of a photo album full of memories. Moebius 8000/4 uses a patented Swiss formula that no only keeps your car running like a Swiss watch, it also makes a great base for Caesar dressing, is great for rods and reels, toy trains, getting bubble gum out of child's hair, and keeps that delicious cheeseburger from sticking to your grill. *The FDA has not designated Moebius 8000/4 safe for food service usage but who cares? We need to move this stuff.

I thought it was INGO law now? Is this where I call a lawyer?

 

[churchmouse]

I did not get that memo......

 

[RustyHornet]

Well I still haven't got my cheeseburger, so we are even.

 

[MuttX7]

Thanks!

You're welcome.

Your good.

Cheeseburger all around.

I was trying to draw on my childhood of watching all of the KTel and Ronco commercials on WTTV.

The GTP hendricks Corvette had a SuperFlo oil sponsor. Big decals on the car and cases of the oil stacked in the trailer.
Thing is we would get a few cases of beer.....ice it down.....open the SuperFlo bottles and dump them into 5 Gallon plastic fuel drums. Then we would fill the SF bottles with Mobile 1 so it looked like we were using the oil provided by the sponsors.
The engines were V-6 Chevy 4.6 liter pieces making 1200 HP at full boost. That was 110"s of mind numbing insanity. Hard enough to keep it alive without gambling on the oil. Raced it between 60/75"s most times. Qualified it at the stupid levels.

Super flow pulled an oil sample from both cars to test the product after a 12 hr. race.
Word was they were not pleased.......

That's hilarious, I never knew SuperFlo was a real oil company, the only time I ever saw it was in Days of Thunder. Thanks for sharing all of the pictures.
