"Diesel Oil is changing? Or is this just marketing BS?"

My HLA's are quiet most of the time. If I shut the car down at the track hot without any cool down time, they'll tick for about 5 minutes when I start it up again but usually will shut up. Have been using Rotella T6 for over 160 hours of track use. Engine has maybe 120k miles. Stock unopened from 1994. Hasn't lost any power yet and oil consumption is still fine.

Yes, we had a great time. Buy the plane ticket and go see him, you wont be disappointed. Ill send him another gallon of lube for you 2 to share, bring some energy bars.
I was doing a rebuild so head was already off and apart. In which case I think your an ******* if you don't clean your lifters because it's so easy once they're sitting in you hand. Under an hour for all 16. Its really not all that much work to pull the VC and cams... on my motor(1.6 with no iac, delted all the little coolant hoses, emissions bs and whatnot). VVT? eh, might not be worth the labor. YRMV
edit- or does vvt use solids? you get my point

OK guys, as promised here is the blackstone report from my latest sample. This sample had a total of 1260 miles on it, including 2 track events (about 1.5-2 hours track time total) using T6, topping off about half a quart in that period (all engines will use SOME oil at this kind of operation). Filter was a Mobil 1 part 3233. I have to say, these results leave me feeling pretty good about the health of my engine, and about using T6 for my particular needs. I probably could have kept the oil in longer, but this was my first analysis with track use. You can compare to the others. Column on far right was the first oil change after breaking in the new engine (not including the initial 50-100 miles done with regular cheap oil to break in).
Also going to cut in a pic of the ACL Race bearing cutaway so you can get an idea of how the wear is with this oil. I only had a tiny bit of nickel in the first sample, so either I wore through the "separation layer" immediately, or have barely touched it at all.

Don't get pissy on me, just pointing out that in the old days, by this point Hustler would have flown to your house and borescoped your colon and given you a lifter tic you'd have not soon forgotten. Then 18psi would have done the same to your mom.
