Oil Life % before track?
 
My Oil was changed at 1200 miles, its at 34% with 5200 am Ok with two days of track this weekend? sat and sunday?

I think you have to run special oil for track use, check the manual.

Change it. Also, make sure it's at least a 40 weight dexos 2 (if you care about warranty).

Yep its about time to get it changed anyway, have them put the track use oil in.

the initial oil change for my first track prep in march used Royal Purple HPS 10w40 , and then 75w90 in the differential fluid , just didn't have time this week to get it done again , and dealer doesn't use the above royal purple should I still be ok? otherwise I would have to go and buy ten quarts of HPS and go to a drive through type place to change oil

I wouldn't track with under 45 50% oil life. It's annoying but always worth it to put fresh oil in before beating on it...... PEACE OF MIND IS PRICELESS

I change at no later than 50% life left for track.

got competing advice from the dealer, he said run it down to 10% ! and then the shop was busy at go fast ! my only choice is to buy royal purple and go to a quick change place? is that the safe bet?

Is the ROYAL PURPLE HPS 10w 40w? dexos2? that is what vengeance recommend and put in?

after looking it up is see its not dexo 2 ? ... at this point should i stick with the HPS or switch to something else?

scratching head ....

make sure it's Dexos 2.....have used RP in the past a couple of times and not had any good experiences, so I personally stay away from RP....

formoutofchaos 05-19-2017 08:16 AM

alright so now i am kind of annoyed IDK why Vengeance racing would put a non dexos 2 oil in there??? if whats in there is 10w 40w HPS? RP? what should I switch to same weight or different??? i hate doing all this last minute but would prefer fresh oil for two days on the track.
