JOE GIBBS 15W 50 SYNTHETIC HIGH ZINC HOT ROD OIL

[Mr. Chevy]

Tommy, I did consider the Amsoil due to the fact that this is mainly what I run in my Harley engines and daily drivers as well as what is currently in my solid lifter motor... My 350 horse 396 I run Valvoline conventional VR1 20/50 with a quart of Lucas oil additive and have really had excellent results with that combo...

The engine shop I bought the Joe Gibbs oil at is an Amsoil dealer but they did not have any of this new oil in stock so the engine builder kind of persuaded me into trying the Joe Gibbs oil.. Of course he said he would order the Amsoil for me if I really wanted it..

He swore by Amsoil but also told me that the Gibbs oil is very good also.. He said he has broken down race engines that used the Gibbs oil for a season and has not seen any problems or wearing in the motors... So I figured I would try the Gibbs oil out.. I am willing to bet it parallels the Amsoil.. It also has corrosion inhibitors in it...

I read somewhere that there was very little difference between the true 100% synthetic oils as far as protection qualities are concerned and that all the major name brands were very good... Probably comes down to a matter of personal allegiance and choice I guess...
