Exactly what I would recommend. Once it gets warmer switch out the Honda MTF for Redline MT90.

Oh yeah, this has been covered!

wow this is a new *** topic. I'm riveted to see what everyone else uses. I don't care WHY they use or or what they use their car for....I just wanna hear some name brands of oil.

I feel it would be exciting to make up a name brand. Since there's really no information attatched to the names anyway...why not make up one?!! I think it would be so rad.

I'm not sure anyone could answer as to why they use a specific brand of oil either...except for the cliche "My car ran 10s after using (insert oil brand here) oil!! So F#%K everyone else's oil!!".

But it's an excellent topic/question.

that is what i used to run and its a good combo. i just switched to le-607 for the diff.

and if you run gears, le-607 mixed with lucas oil stabalizer eliminates the whine associated with gears. its a 70/30 mix of le 607/lucas.
