Can I run nitrous with synthetic oil?

[stuck-in-asia]

My engine builder told me that nitrous and synthetic oil "do not mix well." When I asked why, he said that he has never run nitrous, but his good friend has built dozens of nitrous motors and he says that he didn't explain exactly why but it doesn't.

From my experience with these guys, I gathered that they build mostly drag engines so they are spraying every time they run. I won't be using the nitrous much at all and the whole not mixing well with synthetic sounds fishy to me.

So..... How many of you are running nitrous with synthetic?

There is nothing wrong with synthetic oil and nitrous. There are tons of people doing without problems. Myself included. :D
I've never heard anyone say that before even for pure race motors.

I run full synthetic oil and nitrous no problems.

Thanks guys. I'll run it then unless I hear a horror story first.

I seem to have found this on another site....


That is the most asinine thing I have ever heard.

my question is why would you put nitrous in your oil?:lol: im pretty sure its suposed to go into the cylinders.

Ha Ha! But I did read of someone injecting it into their valve covers and wondering why it didn't work.

hahaha, agreed with RedDevil's quote :)


EDIT: And it also sounds like someone needs a new engine builder :)

I'm gonna try to get his # this afternoon and talk to him personally. While the idea doesn't make any sense, I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he just didn't say it to pull info from the sky. The guy has been dragracing for many years and has built many engines so he's gotta have some reason to tell someone that.

If his response makes any sense at all and is no just incoherent babbling, I post it tonight so you guys can weigh in.

[CamTom12]

I dunno... A girl I know claims her dad has been dragracing since he was 16 and the last time I saw her she was airing her tires up to the max cold psi labelled on the tire itself... I told her she really should be putting them to 32-35 depending on the label inside the door (and showed her the label) and recieved 10 painful minutes' worth of "well my dad..." blah blah blah.

I just let her wear the center of her tires now.

Ok....I called the guy. He lives in Kentucky and he wasn't home. I ask my buddy, who is his buddy, why would he say such a thing? He starts to explain to me (remember that I'm hearing this in second person so you're hearing it in third person) that he runs a tractor in the tractor pulls. His rig has 4 hemis that run on nitro methane and each takes a 500 shot of nitrous for a grand total around 7500 hp.

Eaven though he is running a lot of nitrous I hardly think that just because he had some problems with his combo while he happened to have synthetic oil in his engines makes him an expert on nitrous or synthetic oil in street engines. But remember, I haven't talked directly to him yet, but he is supposed to call me back.

Feel free to chime in here, but I think that there is nothing that he can say that will make me run conventional oil, I'm gonna run synthetic anyway, but I still want to hear him out.... you know, just for the hell of it.

[96slow6]

let us know his reasoning when you get back with him.

[stuck-in-asia]

Yeah, well he never called. I am beginning to think that maybe he is a crackpot that was talking out of his ass about something he knew nothing about.

Anyway... if he calls back, I'll be sure to revive this post.

Thanks for the input guys!
