Damn thats sick. Especially the part on motor oil. Damn that LeadingEdge oil stuff is crazy. Makes you more HP. I use Mobil 1 though and it's expensive...Just think how much LE would cost...LOL

Which brings me to my question...

Someone should dyno various manufactures motor oil to see which is best..because some say AMSOIL is best, etc...

PLEASE understand that synthetic oils do not allow you to extend your oil change intervals. I know ppl will argue, but they were not designed for that.

However, if you read the technical paper for say Redline oils, they said their oil could last up to 18,000 miles, provided you change your filter at the regular interval (e.g., 5000 km).

Read this too:
