I'll probably stick w/ the motul 300v during track season, then switch back to rp during the off season. It's not so much that I'm worried about the lack of detergent in the oil or the fact that it's sludging... I just get worried that the oil has like microscopic debris in it and the cylinder walls are getting all scarred up- I know that's what the filter is for... i just know it's in there and it bugs me like really really bad.

Thats why Im much more on the DL about my experiences now a days. If you dont understand that, well I could care less

Well... I've only done 11 oil changes so far, and at 5.25 qts per change that's only 57.75 quarts total... there are 105 quarts in a barrell. So I don't think it's my fault because I haven't even used a whole barrell yet.

Everything from Motul to Mobil 1 Euro 0w-40 has worked very well.
If you've never done it or want to learn more check this out, for as cheap as it is I dont know why more people (especially built) dont do this.
