Don't use it before the rings are seated. Otherwise you may prevent them from properly wearing it and you will see excessive oil consumption / blow by. Some one else asked LiquiMoly a while back and they said as long as the rings are seated your good to go. Other than that it can be used at any...

See attachment for Ford Performance SC installation instructions. If it's in there, please let me know but I can't find it. Also here is the link to Roush's crate engines including their 600 HP Super Charged Coyote based crate engine...

My 1997 Mazda MX-5 M-edition cemented in for me the importance of Aero. The M-edition had a "track focused suspension", it was fairly harsh and choppy on normal roads, but it was a joy in corners when pushed. But for some Mazda rarely included their front factory splitter. So I purchased it and...

According to same guy the 2018 PP2 GT is slower than the 2017 SS 1LE by 0.5 seconds on that particular track because he couldn't drive it faster. Yet that same 2018 PP2 GT bested the 2017 SS 1LE times on the track used by Car & Driver by a full second. This just proves my point that vehicle...

Where in the Ford Performance instructions does it say to use 5W-50? I downloaded them and cannot find a single mention of changing oil viscosity from the factory requirements. Also why does Roush state that all of their performance crate engines run on 5W-20 if 5W-50 always is better? It's...

They do it to compensate for heat to maintain a proper MOFT. Super chargers place a substantial thermal load on the engine above NA only operation. Not sure what's so mysterious about this or why your attacking my character....Ford Performance does NOT recommend a higher oil viscosity with their...

Just some food for though with some real testing data, this was from Bob Is The Oil Guy's blog (bold italics for emphasis, I do NOT agree with all of his statements, but he does have some real data to compare to King Bearing's Theory): But regardless of all these arguments, 20 and 30 weight...

I think for my application and what I'm looking for, the following will suite me well for my 2019 suspension over haul goals: 1. Ford Performance Track Dampers 2. BMR SP083 revised linear springs (250/980) 3. Ford OE GT350(R) Front Stabilizer Bar (according to Rapid Racer tuning guide, to cure...

LT1 calls for 5W-30 for normal use. 5W or 0W-40 for track use. Go up one grade. I found this from substech: The difference between a SAE 10W-30 and 0W-20 in MOFT is almost nothing...50 microns vs. 45 microns...a thick 5W-20 will perform identically to a typical thin 5W-30 at high RPM. So I...

6th gen Camaro is a great car but far from having it's own faults. I've seen examples right on the 6th gen forum I posted links to a while back of bone stock 6th gen SS's spinning two rod bearings on a dyno with only 4k miles on the clock, car even had factory oil in it. There's plenty of videos...

And just as a refresher for TriboTEX for those that are interested, see attached. Best wishes and happy motoring, TheLion.

Here is what they had to say about MoDTC, ZDDP and TriboTEX: As with most common wisdom, don't go messing with the oil formulas. TriboTEX works particularly well with oil formulas containing Moly. It is an in-situ DLC film, not an oil additive. It simply uses the oil as a carrier to the...

On a side note, I got a reply from TriboTEX regarding MoDTC (organo molybdenum compounds) and their interaction with DLC coatings. In short they perform synergistic-ally. The MoDTC works to reduce friction further yet beyond what TriboTEX does on it's own and ZDDP continues to provide added...

According to Ford Performance, the big issue with changing oil viscosity is how FAST the cam phasors respond. According to them using a thicker oil causes them to take more than one cycle to respond. So instead of advancing the cam phase the next cycle, it may take two. The engine is going...

Take ways: http://kingbearings.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/optimization-of-clearance-engine-professional.pdf 1. Pmax/Pav between 30 and 60 weight oils is only 2 with a 0.002" clearance despite being double the viscosity. The Smaller the clearances the more uniform the oil film distribution...

I guess to summ it up, what I've really been trying to get at is that I do not believe running thicker oil is appropriate for street cars. I believe running 5W-30 is better suited to track work just like the 2018's manual calls for, but once you go back to street use to return to a good quality...

My idle pressure varies a little with oil brand. Thinner oils like PUP 5W-20 or M1 seem to be around 19~20 psi hot and around 70 to 80 psi hot in upper RPM ranges. My cold psi with MC is 90 to 100. I limit myself to a max of 4,000 rpm when cold, light throttle until it's warm. But I see 100 psi...

You asked for information on oil viscosity and cooling, here it is, this is my field of expertise (electrical engineering): https://electricenergyonline.com/energy/magazine/230/article/Transformer-cooling-The-impact-of-oil-viscosity-on-the-performance.htm I believe that the statements from...

I stand corrected on that one. Must not have shown up in the PDF search because it's an image, not text block. However their crate motors spec 5W-20, says right on their website. And Ford Performance also does not call for a viscosity change with their SC kit that I can find including in the...

Some people don't notice it because of lighting and how much oil is in the cans. There's always been some in mine every time. According to FP it's wear metals from normal operation. On the corvett forums no one was able to get any analysis done, however a few guys had UOA's on cars with a lot of...
