I need help identifying what type of oil is typically used in street car racing cars like "rice burners". I live in the High Desert on the outskirts of town. Almost exactly on the nose at about 11pm on Friday nights a fleet of those cars will roll into the abandoned housing track that was supposed to go in across from me about 8yrs ago but only got as far as paving the roads there, no homes. We are on a dirt road we share with 1 other house. Anyhoo, they drag race there consistently, revving and screeching for about a half hour then they're back out on the highway. My biggest concern is for their safety, they pull in off of hwy 395 and head to the end of the road to start their race, about a couple of blocks from the highway and race back towards the highway a full block or so then slam on the brakes and do a donut to avoid the highway. They were here last night and I called the police who have yet to get here in time to stop them. I just know I'm going to here crunching metal one day when one of them ends out on the highway accidentally into traffic or from wrapping their car around a light pole. My biggest fear is that my son is going to be coming home from somewhere and turn left from the signal and right into the end of a race. His Mustang GT is bigger than their little cars but at that hauling ass speed no one will have the upper hand. All of the facts out of the way, I went over this morning and took some pictures of all the rubber donut skid marks to show the police that they need to take this more seriously than a couple of teenagers in a peeing contest. This is a freakin' car club! I also found a container for motor oil that is Valvoline SAE 5W 20 premium.
My question finally! Is this something they would use for their cars for racing? As a mom I'm concerned for all of them but mostly for my own son who comes in that way tat the signal the to avoid having to make a left hand turn directly from the fast lane onto our dirt road. He'd be like a sitting duck at a complete stop in the fast lane with his signal on on that dark highway waiting for oncoming traffic to clear and praying the cars coming up behind him at 60 - 80 mph see him and change lanes in time. I know this is way too long of a post but it's very important to me and you all are experts. Before someone gets killed, I want to make the police aware of how much danger is involved so maybe they'll show up in time. Otherwise, I'm just going to jump in my big 'ole Suburban and 4wheel across the dirt field separating me from them and give them hell and park sideways in the middle of their "track" and hope they'll just leave. I don't think they'll leave though.

 

"rice burners" don't use oil... they use water.
Rice absorbs the water, too much water and you get rice soup... too little and it'll be too dry.

Distilled water isn't advised for cooking rice, regular tap water should be fine.

I've always used the 3/4 cup of water to every cup of rice ratio, this will help prevent "rice burning".


good luck!

 

I actually use a small drop of oil in my rice cooker. Without it, the rice tends to stick to the pan (thus burning).


Have you considered a Teflon coated road?

 

I thought distilled water is used in labs. I remember using in chem101.
i used filtered water for my rice.

 

lol... best post ever

 

This has got to be a joke. Call the cops

 

Your son drives a Mustang? Don't worry, he's probably going to wrap it around something doing what typical mustang driver's do anyways. But seriously? Oil? I don't see the point in this whole post. You know they are racing,cool. Why go play detective work and more importantly why be the idiot that parks in the middle of their "track" and ends up getting you and others killed. Guess who's at fault then? Let the police deal with it if its that big of a problem and stay home. Problem solved.

 

 

In for pics of the Mom.

 

this is the best advice I've seen on s2ki. I've had the same issues. gonna try the oil
