[QUOTE="Andy M, post: 130819, member: 2090"] The motor in the R has some really good internals... including forged pistons, Manley H rods, billet crank, etc... and because these cars were mainly built to go racing, you really WANT and NEED synthetic lubricants... hence, the reason for the Mobil 1. I also use synthetic in my diff (Royal Purple) as well as water wetter and water combo in my radiator. The Mobil 1 is kinda pricey (9 quarts per service) but it is very cheap insurance IMHO. I change mine directly after every track event. I know it probably is waaay overkill, but I sleep well at night knowing that my engine has fresh oil always. Especially given how hard I push my car at the track... :bash: Btw: I have had ZERO problems with my engine at the track... does not burn a drop of oil in between service intervals. Just put gas in the thing and let her rip!!! :D As far as breakin is concerned... The guy I bought mine from (a personal friend) said he was told when he bought it to slowly increase revs from 0 to about 600-1000 miles.. then open her up! I bought the car from him with only 1300 miles (I now have over 8000 on it) and I have had absolutely no issues whatsoever with the motor! The R motor is basically bullet proof! [/QUOTE]
