Got an S&S crate motor for the Harley and the Indy put in some Amsoil 20W50 V-twin.
went down the rabbit hole looking at this and other Amsoil products and saw they make a High ZDDP oil called Amzoil Z-Rod, synthetic and specified for flat tappet engines. Anyone here have any experience running it in our engines??

Number of downloads: 47Kind of expensive, But for what the crate motor cost, its a small price. |

Been using Mobil 1 20w50 in all my older flat tappet motors. Has 1560 and 1770 phos and zinc.
Designed for air cooled flat tappet motors. Otherwise known as V Twin oil. Highest numbers I know of. |
