Let's see I have run Mobil one red cap, Amsoil, and now Redline. All have been good to me. Trick isn't brand here it is the frequency of your changes!

for once, i agree with him^^. i use mobil 1 blue cap. you can get it anywhere and it's cheap compared to some other brands people use.

I think the spars getting hot is pretty normal :confused:

Hmm ok cuz they havent always gotten as hot as they do
but if its no big deal then cool nothin to worry about

I wouldn't worry about heat unless

1) the coolant is boiling

2) the fan runs 100% of the time
