Oil Filters and Racing oil and Accumulators
Whats the best oil filter for the buck and how good are the remote mounted paper towel/toliet paper type of oil filters. I've heard alot about how thats what the goverment uses on their vechiles because of their excellent filtration. I'm also wondering if your going to run your car at the track would your car be better protected by 20w50 racing type oil instead of your regular driving on the highway type weight of oil. I mean if you know your going bracket racing on Friday nite shouldn't you be running a heavier weight oil. Especially in this summer heat? Is it alright to run it a 1/2 Quart over?
Another thing I'm wondering about is the oil accumulators I see for sale in the different car part catalogs. I've spun a rod bearing in my last two shortblocks and I would like this one to last. And any device that can sense my oil pressure dropping and supply a pressurized oil supply if my oil pressure falls to low sounds like insurance to me! But I've never seen anybody running one.
Come on Sarge what do you think?
