We have just put new PC's in my 2.0 and I have been using valvoline VR1 but a guy told me yesterday that when they run in rally car engines they use a thicker oil. Does that ring any bells with you guys?
I know Penn or my VR1 is ok normally but is it better to run new pots in with heavier oil for a while? |

Use break in oil to seat the rings.
Use 20w 50 when running normally. Vr1 or penn have the correct zinc content for the lifters. Penn break in oil also has the correct zinc content. Rich |

Lucas has a high zinc break in oil, and so does Joe Gibbs. If you want to run the Lucas, text me, and I will let you know where you can get it local. |
