Castrol GPS Power 1 for me. I dont care how much it costs either. When we are talking about high performance motors that we ask a lot of they deserve the best imo. AND stay the hell away from Shell oil. A good mate of mine used to have a servo and had the oil tested after several customer complaints. The tests returned positive for all types of metals that are within a motor. Shavings that were found in the oil. Shell Oil is crap. STAY AWAY from it if you want long engine life.

Thanks for the tip, TBT! I just bought 2 of them. Another guy had them, too, even cheaper.... so I bought a couple there, too...
You want me to send you one, shadowman?
Anybody else?

And bordo, I like castrol oils, too. I run GTX in all my cars/trucks. I just buy it up when it goes on sale because it's $11/gal and I haven't heard anything bad about it.
On the shell thing, I'm thinking something else strange was going on with it. Many people run Shell Rotella T, and it's good stuff.

I think I'm gonna photochop one onto your head and see how it looks.
Then we will all decide if you're getting one or not...

Go for it !
Talking about caps..........
Hmmmm I have this one ?
Friend of mine is the owner of Spirit of Norway- Offshore Racing
Bugger gave me a cap but he won't let me drive the boat !!!!!
(but I wouldn't lend him my $5000 bike, when he was here, so I guess not lending me his
$million boat is fair) hehe.
