Interesting note regarding
oil.
A friend of my parents works for Honda Racing as a development engineer. He stopped by my folks house for a visit and naturally the conversation turned to cars. Since he's around cars and racing 12 hours a day, you'd think he'd be sick of talking about cars...not the case though
He told me that they run standard off-the-shelf 10/30
oil in all of their racing engines. They don't run
synthetic at all. They tested all of the major label brands and there wasn't any significant advantages or performance issues.
