Synthetic Oil

I seen a Chevy today that this guy had raised the front and dropped the rear, had to be a **** hunter cause that's all his lights would have been good for, it looked rediculas. I was a good 150' away from him and could tell he needed exhaust manifold gaskets, he probably didn't care though cause he was stylin.

Cali lean. I call it dog assed. Mine does not look like that. It's perfectly level.

It's usually Chevy's that sport this look.

I've heard it called the Carolina squat. I swear it looked like a 10" lift or better on the front and rear axle was sitting on frame , I know we're it got the squat handle, it looked like ****.

Well maybe they are just trying to be cool like the "Gassers" from the 50's & 60's.

If you wanted to do that, just lift the whole thing up with a slight front bias and run smaller and skinnier wheels and tires in the front.

Lol.

This dog assed ****, especially to the extreme spoken of above is dumb and ugly.

Here. These are the only 3 reasons a truck's ass should be lower than the front. (or any vehicle for that matter)

"...slight front bias"?

Yeah, I'd say that's a slight front height bias. The tiny tires make it look way bigger, though.

umm... okay. It's not the tires that make it look higher... it's the straight axle and lifted suspension. It was meant to shift weight to the rear for drag racing.

Time to stock up on oil now boys... prices are going up 5-10% across the board very soon. Some are already in effect. See link here and info below.

Redline C+ ATF. VOA

Compared to the universal averages on the right all the additives seem reasonably higher (besides zinc). The viscosity is nice and high too.

Now its time to buy some BEER! My gosh iv been deprived!

Has anyone seen or heard of this?

Champion Brands, LLC, a major player in development and manufacturing of racing and performance products, announced this week the unveiling of a new SAE 0W-40 premium full-synthetic motor oil specifically formulated to maximize the demands of today’s high performance street vehicles.

Champion Modern Muscle (CMM) SAE 0W-40 Motor Oil is an API SN licensed viscosity recommended for Dodge Viper 8.4L, Dodge Challenger 6.4L, Dodge Charger 6.4L, Additional Modern Dodge Hemi Motors, Jeep 6.4L, Nissan GTR 3.8L, and others, plus OEM / Engine Builder “Crate Motors” requiring a high performance 0W-40 viscosity.

CMM Motor Oils will provide outstanding levels of fuel economy performance, cleaning power and engine protection, even during extended oil change intervals. These high-performance oils are proven to significantly reduce wear and viscosity breakdown due to advancements in additive engineering.

CMM Motor Oils utilize Champion’s “Blue E.T.®” (Enhanced Technology) racing additive, and Champion’s TVS® (Thermal Viscosity Stabilizer) performance additive. These proprietary technologies deliver unmatched film strength at high temperature, better piston ring seal for maximum compression, and increase horsepower and torque in most engines.

These premium mixtures of synthetic base fluids and additives provide maximum durability and protection from wear and viscosity breakdown by including special lubricity modifiers, and premium anti-wear additives This unique robust formulation enables CMM Motor Oils to outperform all leading high performance synthetic oils.

Rampant,


What is the base stock advertised ason that 0w40 ?

I believe it says ester based but no reason to believe it isn't pao/ester, as you see it doesn't have the 6.4 starting visc that the 8 speed wants, but it looks good and thin. Just a guess but I would think it is mostly pao.

The only info I've seen on it is in that link in my post. Proprietary this, state-of-the-art that. It is API licensed. High NOACK, good VI, same viscosity as RL in that weight. Decent pour point. It's blue. That's about all the useful info it has.
