Just wondering what type (brand and weight) of oil most of you are using in the DSM.

I run Amsoil Dominator 15W-50 Racing Oil.In the summer I use 20w50 and a quart of Lucas. Usually whatever I can get brand wise but not synthetic. In the winter I use 5w30 and a quart of Lucas. Usually Valvoline because it's free, also not synthetic. I've never put synthetic in the Talon mostly because it's expensive and I get regular oil for free. It's funny too because I only change my oil like twice a year even though its free.
I've been using Lucas in everything I own for the past 10+ years, never had any sort of mechanical issue. Lucas actually cut oil consumption on an old conversion van we occasionally pulled my Motocross trailer with in half over straight 10W40.Rex2342 are you referring to Lucas Oil Stabilizer? If so I would stop using that stuff. It foams up and is no good.
Who is Bob? I was informed of this by a few old school 8sec DSMer's. Disregard my statement. Stick to what works for you.I've been using Lucas in everything I own for the past 10+ years, never had any sort of mechanical issue. Lucas actually cut oil consumption on an old conversion van we occasionally pulled my Motocross trailer with in half over straight 10W40.
I've drained the oil hot just seconds after the engine was turned off and never saw any foam. Is there firm proof of this foam anywhere beyond that Bob The Oil Guy ad where he's trying to sell us on some oil that doesn't exist outside Missouri?
Nice try, Bob. Air alone doesn't turn oil white....the only thing that makes oil foam and turn white instantly is water, and I know damn well if Lucas was putting water in their products they wouldn't be able to buy a stadium in Indianapolis after they bought new engines for every consumer that uses their products.

I notice that a lot of people are using 10w-40. What is the benefit of 10w-40 over 10w-30?
Well my engine has just over 1,000 miles on it so I'm good with 10w-30.
