Roll Cage

A roll cage is a specially constructed frame built in (or sometimes around) the cab of a vehicle to protect its occupants from being injured in an accident, particularly in the event of a roll-over. Roll cages are used in nearly all purpose-built racecars, and in most cars modified for racing. There are many different roll cage designs depending on the application, hence different racing organisations have differing specifications and regulations. They also help to stiffen the chassis, which is desirable in racing applications

Touge

Touge ,as the name suggest, take place on the japanese mountain sides,windy roads form the tracks where the race occur. the battle is always done in one on one old fashion.for example the lead car wins if the space between the lead and the chaser increase considerably,for the chaser ,if the gap between them stays the same from start to the finish that means the chaser win the races. The aim of Touge is not to drift,But to be the fastest on a particular stretch of road.Drifting can be used to Block the chaser or as a part of a driving strategy, But Touge is traditionally focused on Grip.

CONOCO SAE 20W-50 Oil Review

The Product

The Test Subject

This time I get to review CONOCO SAE 20W-50 Engine oil. The Oil cost me BN$6.00 per liter. I use 4 liter for my 1.3 swift.

Here some of the detail of the product:
Conoco Hydroclear High Performance Motor Oil SAE 20W-50, formulated with premium base stocks, lubricates gasoline engines that operate under severe driving conditions. It is particularly recommended for high performance racing and rally driving by both domestic and foreign automobiles, including those equipped with turbochargers and superchargers where the manufacturer specifies an SAE 20W-50 motor oil.

It is also recommended for motorcycles that require viscosity grade SAE 20W-50. Hydroclear High Performance Motor Oil exceeds the performance requirements of API Service SL. It protects engines against wear, rust and corrosion and against the formation of sludge or varnish deposits. Its stable viscosity protects vital engine parts – even at high temperatures.

Info for the Techs guys:
Physical Properties
API Gravity 30.0
Viscosity 8800cP@ -15 degree Celsius
22000cP@ -20 degree Celsius

Viscosity Measurement 122
ASTM colour 3.50

Thermal properties
Pour point -32.8 degree Celsius
Flash Point 210 degree Celsius

*Measured in Metric

My Verdict: I've been using Duckhams Hypergrade 20W-50 for quite sometime now heck it's the only oil I can get my hands on cheap. Since I'm cheap bastard after all I went to try CONOCO. It's the same price as the Duckhams Hypergrade so I give it a shot.

From the packaging expectation it looks like a rip off from some super brand oil blend but what the heck, what is important is the oil in my opinion. So after I finish the engine service, me and Starscream head on to the high-way for some testing. The car feels ordinary nothing special but I did notice that now my speedometer isn't shaking anymore which is good.

Give the car a hard run since I have to meet with Mr Destroyer at the Civic Center, overall performace was nice. NO more valve ticking sound for me. Haven't try to dyno it but will do it soon after replacing all the faulty components such as Distributor cap, Spark plug and Cable.

If any of you would like to try this oil, please feel free to post at the comment. There's a lot of ranges for this oil, I choose the 20W-50 since my tuner recommends me to use it as my engine is well over 20 years old.

It also carries full synthetic blend,multigrade and so on.

Cheers.
