I'm sure this question has been asked before but I couldn't find it. I just got my first Porsche last week (73 914 1.7). I want to go ahead and change the oil to be on the safe side. I'm looking for some recomendations for oil types/brands. should I use "racing oil" with zddp? any info would be help full.
Thanks, A new 914 owner |

brad peen racing oil has enough zddp in it, you can also find other oils with high amounts of zinc, or ass you own using stp red bottle four cylinder oil treatment. add this stp to your regular oil and the zddp level will be restored. either way be sure your motor gets plenty of zddp, not found in the newer oils.
amazing photo, is that some special process to get the look? |
