Zinc = good. It can be found in most racing oils, diesel oils, and some of the higher weight normal oils still (20w50 and 15w50).
I have been running a mix of Mobil 15W50 Synthetic and Mobil 15W40 Delvac (Diesel oil) with good success in my race car. I do this at about a 4:1 ratio, and it seems to work for me. AJRS in Grand Junction suggested it, and i have not had an issue. The other option is go with a standard good quality oil, and add a BG product called MOA to it. It has the Zinc additive as well as some other beneficial things. I did that for break in, straight 30W with MOA. My 1.7 is now running the mix as well, and no issues, but its only been about a week, and the car isnt quite road worthy yet. |
