I've been using Brad Penn 10w x 40 with zinc (green oil) for many years and am very happy with it. I purchase off Amazon and its here in 2 days.

I have been using Driven 10w-40 (HR5) conventional oil for a number of years now.

Green oil is the best oil and Driven GP-1 fills my oil pans. Don’t take my word for it. Go to an NHRA National Event and ask around. You’ll see & hear this same sentiment . . . .

I use old SL or SM rated oil. I have several cases of Pennzoil that I've run across.

Kurt, one of the things that the rep at Driven told me was that they use Pennsylvania something in their oil that everyone else has stopped using. He said that Brad Penn used it, but has stopped. It's supposed to make their oil better. I guess it's what Pennzoil and Quaker State used years ago. That Pennzoil should be good stuff. I've got several quarts of Pennzoil racing oil in quart cans.
