I can get pretty much anything Greddy but do not stock it, and have no idea of how long it might take to actually get any of it. If that has not scared you off you can send me a PM and I will see what I can do for you.

FWIW I used Valvoline of some sort in the race car for the Pikes Peak and it was some of the slickest stuff I have ever poured into the thing. Not that you will have the same results, as I was running E-85 and premixing using Redline 2-smoker oil, but i was impressed with the oil for a non-synthetic. Otherwise I use ENEOS 0-50 High Performance oil or Redline. I carry Eneos and Redline in stock, which would be helpful to you if you were in Denver

Why not use idemitsu??

Thats a rotary specific oil.

They have 10w30 and 20w50.

Are you specifically looking for 10w40 though???

You wont see a difference between oils. Only way to know if the oil is actively working is to get it tested at blackstone.

I have had multiple oils tested and RP was by far showed the best numbers. Of course that depends on what you're using the car for.

If you're street driving, any off the shelf oil will do. As long as you change it accordingly.

IMO, unless you're tracking the car, 8-10 bucks a quart on oil is a waste of money.

Oil is oil.

Blackstone Labs, one of many labs that do oil analysis.

Check out Nopi.com you have to buy it in a bundle I think 12 quarts, but it averages out very cheap per quart, and you will have enough for 2 oil changes and some extra left over for later.

Yeah, I told you man, its a Japan and Oz market sort of thing, and its not cheap. One reason no one carries it is there is no margin in it for any profit, so why stock something you maybe maybe make $3.50 a case on?

I am telling ya, try the Redline or Eneos and you will not be disappionted
