So Chevron Delo 400 has a lot of ZN? Is there any downside to running Chevron Delo 400 in my 2.0? (questions from a non-mechanic) FYI I run Chevron Delo 400 in all my diesel tractors and the 7.3L in our Ford Superduty so I use it all the time.

Is the new Porsche Classic oil any good or is that just re-bottled Castrol?

There's more to it than just zinc, but in a nutshell things like ZN are hard on catalytic converters so modern auto oils no longer have the additives that are good for flat tappet cams. Most diesel oils still do, as well as some motorcycle oils and the older car specialty oils like gibbs and BP. I run Delo in all aircooled and my Fiat diesel tractor, I think at least 5 years + with no issues. A few new engines in that mix and I run it in my 2.6L T4 '67 bug, nickies, high buck engine. BTW Swepco 360 is a 15w40 diesel oil. I've used it and it's good, but a bit spendy and I have special order it. Swepco 101 grease I swear by it, I use it for wheel bearings, CV's, I just bought a case last week. |

QUOTE(napasteve @ Jul 15 2016, 01:12 AM) wow another Fiat tractor owner! Right now it is a White 2-60, but it really is a Fiat 640DT 4wd, it was just rebadged for the NA market. Anywhere you can see the paint scraped off it's Fiat orange underneath. Fiat/NewHolland still make the 640DT 2wd in Pakistan so spares are no problem. I have new fiat decals and I plan to repaint it orange someday. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-26-1468591678.1.jpg) |

It's a 4 banger. I'm in OH right now for a wedding but I'll give the specs when I get home. It's an 805c built in 1982. Only 1000 hrs on it. Runs great. Parts are still available from Italy. My mechanic is from Italy and buys direct. He just put all new clutch and brake plates in the Landini.

These guys also know a little about oil & ZDDP:
http://www.drivenracingoil.com/news/dro/tr...c-in-motor-oil/ AND one of their oils (with ZDDP) ranked as one of the best in the ratblog article posted above. And keep in mind, regardless of what you read on the ratblog, modern engine manufacturers STILL require a High Zinc oil for engine break in EVEN THOUGH they know they are damaging the catalytic converter. Why would they do that if there was no benefit? BTW - this other thread has already been over this: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=191853 |
