S (or do you have a real name?), If you are using a 5W-30 in a DeLorean, you're nuts! The original factory publications were asking for 20W-50! For what it's worth, none of these special products are necessary in a DeLorean. If you service the car regularly, normal maintenance works just fine. Also, the Bricklin (while I agree is not by any means a spectacular machine) is *not* a kit car. -And Bricklin couldn't have copied DeLorean considering it was built 7 years earlier, and 3 years before the 1977 DeLorean prototype. The AMC engines (if I remember correctly) were only in the 1974 Bricklins, while the majority of the cars used rather reliable Ford 351 Cleveland engines. I'll let a better Bricklin expert chime in if I got that wrong.....

Not alot, but HP is HP baby! I did a little research on the Brickin car too; What a piece of crap! A kit car, with a look that tries to copy the DMC cheaply. Plus it's AMC powered, and that says enough bad right there. Not even a contender for further investigation on my part to be sure. I also found another nifty product that works: RedLine Racing Products makes a product called Water-Wetter, which reduces the drag coefficient on radiator coolant, and allows it to flow faster, pick up and disperse heat faster. It's about 10 a bottle, and the immediate effect I can witness to is: It drops the car's radiator temp. by about 20 degrees. And we all know that heat is a car's worst enemy, and cause of most wear. Well time for me to shut up, and sit back. That's all I have to add, hope you fins some of it helpful.
