Need Advice!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to track tomorrow, and I have about 3800 miles since my last oil change. Do you guys think I should change my oil before or after I go to the track. I now this may be a stupid questions, but the reason I ask is because I've heard before that new oil takes some time before it really works well.

Before - Your car will rev faster with less friction
with the brand-new slippery oil, instead of the old gritty and dirty oil. Worth at least 15 HP ! Even better than putting on Eibach stickers!

I don't know if it's just in my head, but it seems my max revs faster and runs quicker right after an oil change.

I agree, change your oil, put some nice clean 10W 30 in there and go to town!

where do you live? if it's gonna be deecenlty warm, go with some 5w 30 or even some 0w 30. that'll be thinner and will free up some horsepower...
