How do you run 60w at night?

What? You don't change to night oil when the sun goes down? :^)

How do you run 60w in temps over 100°?
The answer is the same as the next question...

How do you run 20-50w in high temps?

The MoCo doesnt tell you, but they will sell you the fix.

Install an oil cooler!

Im convinced that if some twin cam owners had figured this out there would not have seen near as many cam chain tensioner failures.

Did the same guy tell you not to run the 50w? It's SN rated with zinc added. It's regular oil with additives, the high content is why they label it race. I believe there's another race only that they say not to put in street cars. Take a poll bet you find many happy VR1 users.

Oh ok. The only VR 50 weight that I found locally said Race in the bottle. Didn't realize there were 2.

My bottle says racing oil but it's SN rated. It's not "race only". I don't even know if you can buy race only at the auto store.
