Engine oil recycle / Tire recommedation
dreracecar:
The way I tend to look at things is that when I ran my 410 sprint car around a 1/2 mile dirt track(ASCOT) the evening consisted of about 80 laps and 60 of the were full throttle (not idleing) which is about 40 miles.Taking into account that the engine is on and off the throttle and only taching 7500 I will cut that figure in half at 20 miles between oil changes. 16 passes in my dragster is 4 miles between changes. If your 8 qts of oil cannot stand up to that then you either have tune up - engine builder - or oil quality issues.

Will not emulsify with the alcohol and any floating on top will steam off warming it up. pull it out after 15 passes and still looks new
