[s-cars] Track car oil

[Cody Forbes]

Its been a few years, but our race team was sponsored by Amsoil for a  
few seasons (mostly via free product and using us in advertisements).  
They had one advertisement where they had us tear the engine down only  
after an entire Rolex Enduro season. Normally we ran our engines about  
30 hours or half a season. On most other oils that was right about  
when the copper would start showing on tge rod bearings. The engine  
that ran the _whole_ season on Amsoil were still perfectly grey.

This was before Mobil 1 was popular and was on oil-cooled Porsche  
engines, but I still believe in the product. I'll have to see if I can  
dig up the ad.

-Cody (ps. I use exclusively Castrol oils in my personal cars... Just  
to throw a wrench in my story)
