Looking for Oil recommendations...

Sometime you just have to do whatever helps you sleep at night.
That's the bottomline.

As far as oils go, Joe Gibbs for me but some of the others are good as well, comes down to personal preference/experience. If Keith Craft swears by Joe Gibbs then that's all I need to know. It's going in a DART aluminum 427w race block. I'm using it in my BMW K1200S sportbike, 11.5:1 cr, runs like a champ.

What helps me sleep is doing what is right! ;-)

It has 20-50. Old owner had the car for 35+ years and swears by it so maybe I'll stick with that...

I've been running the Joe Gibbs Racing oil for a while. I traded a couple of emails with Lake Speed Jr. at JGR and decided on a 50/50 blend of HR-1 (15/50) and HR-2 (10/30).

I did the same thing, traded emails with Joe Gibbs technical staff. Gave the bearing clearances on the alu 427w and they came back with - for break-in use Gibbs BR straight 30wt, then go with the Gibbs HR-3 Synthetic 15W-50.
