Is 30 weight oil still the best to run in the stock engine? If not?
Thanks |

Here is a recent article about ZDDP.
It even talks about the changes in recipes like Jake mentions: http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=42719 You would need to make a login acct to view, but there is some good stuff on that site. Here is the chart of the results of how much zinc is in each: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i366.photobucket.com-10819-1427473151.1.png) So I think I will go with the VR1 if on a budget and the Joe Gibbs if I win the lottery. |

Valvoline VR1 20W50....recommended by several engine builders for both /4 and /6 engines.
