Another NASCAR oil ?
I suspect there are many fellow NASCAR fans on this message board, and was wondering if any of you "hands on" gurus of NASCAR might know the answer to this question, that I have been hearing a lot of lately, but don't know this to be true or not. Anyway, does NASCAR let the teams use their own racing oil in their engines, or is the oil supplied from NASCAR to the teams? For example, UNOCAL 76 supplies the fuel, all cars run on the same racing gasoline regardless of team, and engine manufacturer (Ford, Dodge, Chevy & Pontiac) NASCAR is constantly making rules to make all competition fair these days. So, does NASCAR supply the oil used for qualifying and then the oil used on race day? Or, do teams use their own lubricants? I wrote a letter to NASCAR a year or so ago (both via the mail and on thir website) and never received an answer. If anyone knows, please respond. Thank You.

Teams use their own oil as far as I know. Robert Yates uses valvoline last I heard, and I believe Rick Hendrick uses Quaker State. The #10 had better be using Valvoline with their logo all over the car.

on second thought dont even answer that. with a remark like that i already know how intelligent you are. which is not very much. lets see you try to make 800hp and turn it at 9500rpm all day long under nascars rules and regulations and then we will see how long yours stays together. lmao i would ike to see you try. and to see even if you know how to properly heat it,start it,and the right way to run it on the track.
