Re: zddp

[Jacob Fox <imfast101@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just did some more reading on that castrol oil. It does contain 1200ppm zddp. I was just worried bout going from such a low viscosity oil to high and also synthetic on such an old motor that's never been rebuilt with 110000 miles. I'd like to run it cause it's prolly easier to get around here than the additives...I hate ordering stuff...takes to long...I'm more of instant gratification kinda guy haha

Jacob,

 

You can run the Syntec w/o any “issues” but you need to verify that this, or any motor oil you use, has the minimum Zinc and Phosphorous for our flat-tappet engines;

“Read the label carefully on your favorite flavor of oil, and/or check out the internet for complete info. The magic ingredients is ZDDP and carry's a SL rating. Rule of thumb is no less than 1200 PPM's of Zinc and at least 75% (900 PPM's) as much of Phosphorous as Zinc.”

I got bored at work and started going through old emails and saw the zddp posts. It got me wondering cause i still havent put any in that old motor....

 

I was doing some research and came across the castrol SYNTEC 20-50 oil. Says its formulated for classic cars, with higher levels of zddp and phosphorus. http://www.castrol.com/castrol/genericarticle.do?categoryId=82915470&contentId=7032644

 

Being that its synthetic, and my motor has been running 10-30 and 30w conventional all its life...using that now cant be good huh?

 

Im still hung up whether to start using 20-50 over my 30w. i can never make up my mind! i want my motor to last!

 

(i either need more hobbies or something to do cause for 12 hours a day that i work i sit on the computer and look up stuff for this car lol sad :P)
