Well, we are talking about "racing" oil. Not street car oil, not "track day" oil... racing oil.

My dedicated race car has a 9.7:1 CR production engine that only costs $3k to build so do I need Miller oil? No. Would it help, sure but I wouldn't notice it. I will probably miss a shift and blow it up before I notice the difference between a Miller oil and an Amsoil. Sure it's a race car but it's not really a "race" engine. Heck I still use pump gas!

However, if I was building a $10k, 9000rpm 13:1 CR spec race engine then yes, at that price point I would be running Joe Gibbs, Miller or 300V.

It's all about the right seat on the bus.

Just trying to shed some perspective on the subject.
