I'm just putting the finishing touches on an engine tear-down and rebuild, and a friend at work clued me into a concern about using modern oil with our flat tappets. Apparently, in an effort to make

[good stuff deleted] In addition to the diesel oils, there are oils sold for motorcyle use that carry the SG API rating - these still have ZDDP to. For example, if you are a Castrol person, you can g

So, barring the availability of 'specialty oils' or Delo, is ZDDP separately, as an additive? Dave Friedlander CF25194UO rent

GM sells EOS oil fortifier which they recommend for break-in on any of their HP cam engines and sounds like it would be good for long term use. Also CD-2 and SLOB are oil additives with Zddp. We may

The answer is: what is the API code on the container? If it's API-SJ or higher (current is SM) then the oil has lower ZDDP. Period. The only off the shelf stuff "like the old stuff" is specialty oil

Actually, I was not the one that said that. I don't use any Castrol oils. I am strictly sticking with Shell Rotella and Chevron Delo with the API designation CI-4 (the new CJ-4 has reduced levels of

I don't fully understand this entire thread, but Kia's comments below mention Castrol 20W50 Motorcycle oil not being cheap. I've seen it as high as $4.50 liter. I picked up 10 bottles at Target on cl

Thanks to all who shared their wisdom on the modern engine oil, especially Kai, Robert and John. Before reading Kai's posting on Wishbone Classics, I bought Castrol HD-30 to use as my break-in oil wi

Honeeeeey! Where's the checkbook? <giggle> Vance <Snip> But it's looking like specialty oils are the way to go. Either that or "we" need roller cams. :-) <snip> regards, rml
