This statement is certainly surprising. Several years back, I copied Jack
Wheeler's use of Valvoline 20/50 Racing mineral oil with a Molydine additive.
Later, I went to Mr. Molly when Molydine was no longer available. After the
first race on the engine, I would then convert to a synthetic oil.
I also use to use STP on the theory that that sticky stuff would stick to the
parts and give better lubrication on startup.
