[DeTomaso] A presentation on race oil basics from Joe Gibbs Oil

BTW, my fingers got in the way, it's Joe Gibbs, NOT Joe Biggs.

  Chris,

My guess is that Joe Biggs oil is a name brand synthetic that he adds ZDDP
to for racing use. Anybody know more about his oil?

As for what to do, here's my opinion FWIW:

If you had an $8,000 (or greater value) engine in your car with a flat
tappet cam, I recommend the Joe Biggs oil at $9/qt.

If you had a roller cam, I recommend Mobil 1 15W50 synthetic at $4.50/qt.

But yours is a flat tappet cam in a stock 351C (with more than 50K miles on
it?), go with the Rotella at $3.50/qt.

Lets see, If you have a 10qt oil pan, why not just use 3qts shell, 3qts
synthetic, and 3qts Joe Briggs and1qt multi blend? maybe the best of all
worlds?

No really anyone have a idea about blending two oils?

OK, so here I was, ready to start using Shell Rotella 30 wt, and now I read
this...has there ever been a consensus for which is better, the Shell or the
synthetic stuff listed here? My 351 is fairly stock, so does that make a
difference?

Sure appreciate your feedback.

Thanks,

Chris
