It is not a ridiculous statement, computer showed zero oil pressure 3.75 seconds into the run 6.78 @ 206 mph. The motor went 1 more round before we were eliminated. This event happened at the 07 Street Car Nationals in Las Vegas. Say what you want but this event happened.

K & N is NOT the best filter...get a MObil 1 filter!

Wow 86 posts, we need a sticky with a poll so items like this oil can be quickly referenced and you can just buy what got the most votes, can't go wrong that way.

Well a little judgement might be in order. But I'm on the fence for mobil 1 and Amzoil and redline and royal purple.

some cars do respond better to different oils. case in point, a good friend of mine has an 04 GTO, had been running $2 dino oil in it from the first oil change. he swapped to Mobil 1 and took it straight to the dyno and lost 7 hp and 9tq across the board. went home and swapped back to dino oil. (he's also very compulsive about his mods.... changes the clutch, takes it to the dyno, changes the tire pressure, takes it to the dyno, changes the air filter, takes it to the dyno, etc...)

Has anyone used a magnetic collar ot their oil filter, or a magnetic drain plug. I changed the stock drain plug to magnetic with first oil change (100 miles) found some (small amount) on second oil change. Mostly wondering if anyone has tried the magnetic collar and if seen any difference on magnetic plug.

Royal Purple here...
It cant hurt to get a magnetic drain plug from magneticdrainplug.com and magnetic filter wrap just for the heck of it... As for the oil filter, Royal Purple came out with a filter with white sythetic filter media, it looks good idk http://www.royalpurple.com/index.html# i run K&N now
