Default Synthetic oil and nitrous

Has any one had any engine problems running nitrous with synthetic oil?

Good question. I have noticed that it takes a while for my oil to warm up. I just monitor my gauges before I spray. I like the oil temp to at least hit the first hash... I am running synthetic.

I would think it could cause a problem, I dont like to run it hard without the nos if the oil temp is not proper.... Juice may cause more issue if you run it from a cold start???

Some of the serious racers around here have stopped using synthetics because of some bearing problems. Seems the stuff is too slippery. I have heard the same thing from big time Buick turbo guys too. Ask your engine builder unless it's you. Then ask around the net.
