[DeTomaso] Oil Numbers

One more time....I think the time to discuss engine clearances and what oil to use with your engine builder is BEFORE you put oil in a new engine....especially if he is providing an engine warranty....ask any of the engine builders who monitor or lurk on this board and see if you get a different answer. ;-]>

Just make sure you get one with lots of ZDDP and it's NOT synthetic if 
you are still breaking it in.  If it's already broken in, I'd still 
recommend ZDDP but you can -add- that.  Otherwise, try to find the grade 
recommended.

As for Mad Dog... well, he's had a good run with his last engine from 
Russ Fulps and he practices what he preaches... running the grade Russ 
recommends.  Right Dennis?
