I have emailed him before and he is very receptive to questions. Great read!
I use Joe Gibbs BR30 oil for break in and change it within 2hrs/50 miles plus the filter... then I switch over to Valvoline VR1 40W mineral oil (non synthetic) change at 500 miles.... then change every 2K miles.... I beat on my cars with lots of track days.... plus run e85 which does put some moisture into the engine. After 2K miles I run a synthetic oil.... Mobil1, Royal Purple, Amsoil.... whatever is cheapest among these 3. Always WIX filters.
