Most likely ….leave it alone but …..It depends, what type of oil, will it stay in a zip-lock until just before the race, and how big was "a tiny drop"?

 

[Tim DeBoer]

No. It will come out of ziplock bag tonight then sitson a table I assume with the other cars. The drop was 1 drop as small as I could get from the needle of the oil. I forget the name. Ketox 100 or something. I didnt squeeze the bottle. Didnt have to gravity easily released a drop. I touched needle onto axel and saw it land on there. Hard to say. Smaller that a drop from a sink but more that a ball point pen head some told me to apply a ball point pen ball sized drop.

+ 2 for what the guys above said. For properly prepped and set up oil cars one drop is it. I’ve run the same car a couple months on same drop of oil.

 

[Thinkin'Bout Racin]

Yep, if it is krytox, then leave it! Too much oil WILL slow you down.

 

[Charles Studer]

Lol....use half that drop at most
