    How much bearing material in your oil is too much?

    Yeah those are flakes suspended in the oil. It's oil that I poured out of the filter after taking it off of the car. The car has been sitting but I did start it and move it before changing the oil.

    How much bearing material in your oil is too much?

    The engine has about 37k miles on it. I've taken it to two HPDE events. I the oil looked worse after the second event than it did after the first. I figured some metal particles in the oil would be normal but I just don't know how much is normal.

    How much bearing material in your oil is too much?

    Hi everyone,I recently did a HPDE event. I changed the oil and I found what looks like a lot of bearing material in the oil. Admittedly, I don't really know what is a lot and what is normal so I figured I'd ask the forum. I have attached some pictures. Ambient temperature at the event was...

    This is probably a dumb question but what about 15w50? It just seems like 5w50 would shear pretty fast once it got hot. I have read that running 15w50 can cause problems with the variable valve timing system on the Coyote though since it's dependent on pressurized oil to operate and that the...

    What race oil should I be running?

    Hello everyone,I have a HPDE event coming up and I'm trying to figure out what oil to run. The event will be occurring in Texas during the month of July. It's going to be hot.

    I'm lowering my 2012 GT. What all suspension components do I need?

    Hello everyone,I'm pretty new here and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm going to be lowering my 2012 GT with a set of H&R RSS coil overs and I'm wondering what all other components I'll need to keep my suspension geometry where it needs to be. The car is going to be tracked...
