Before I ponied up for the billet bottom end, I ran an OD in my race car. I
tried a couple varieties of GL4 and 5, but never overcame the problem of the
OD engaging sluggishly and then not at all on a hard, hot run. I believe I was
frothing the oil at big rpm. I was about to put Redline in and be done with
it, but I called Moldex instead.
It was suggested to me to run non-detergent 30 weight oil in a street OD box,
and it works great. When I rebuilt the race prepped OD box this Spring to
sell in the old yellow car, I went to Napa and bought the same cheap oil that
has served me well on the street, and ran a weekend at VIR. Shifted perfectly,
and the OD worked perfectly.
I change it every race weekend because that gives me the ability to take a
close look at the oil, giving me a good read on the health of the box. Redline
oil is way too expensive for that!
