And Jiffy Lube is more likely to destroy your engine than old oil. So what's better, changing oil before, or after a track day? Obviously both is better but I'm cheap and lazy. Let's say I cook my oil at 260+F for awhile at the track, I figure its used up and changing it after is wise. Before a track day, I'll top it off unless I'm near an oil change anyways. But then again you want some good oil film in there for running it WOT too. Maybe oil only before track, and oil+filter after. BTW, if you really want to take care of your engine, run it WOT soaking hot every now and then. It'll clean out your combustion chambers. I bet most engines suffer from lack of exercise rather than too much. |
