key takeaways
Challenge
Dave explains that a commercial grade power fluid allows for only six quarter mile track passes before it oxidizes and requires replacement.
LE solution
LE’s 7500 MONOLEC® Power Fluid, recommended by an LE customer, uses paraffinic base oils and a unique additive package to reduce friction, wear, and temperatures, enhancing power in extreme operating conditions.
Results
Dave Bertagnole reports that switching to LE’s 7500 MONOLEC® Power Fluid allows for up to 30 passes before fluid change, reduces operating temperatures by 30ºF, and achieves speeds of 179.25 mph with a quarter-mile time of 7.8 seconds at 5,000 ft elevation.
Upon changing to LE's 7500 MONOLEC Power Fluid, I can now make as many as 30 passes before changing fluid. I have also noticed a 30ºF drop in operating temperatures, with less wear since changing to this oil.
