[s-cars] Track car oil

[Andrew Beckert]

Yeah, preferred customer is $20 a year and saves you around $2+ a quart
(well worth it).  I use tons of their European oil, but for the track I
would look into their "Dominator" racing oils.  I'm going to use the 10w-30
in my HPDE car the next oil change.  They have a Dominator 15w-50 available,
as well, if you like the thick stuff (part number RD50).

ymmv,
Andrew
