^ American Petroleum Institute to old car owners EMERGENCY EMERGENCY We are being abandoned by the API! There is a new motor oil standard called "SM" that only hit the shelves within the past few months. DON'T USE IT! It has reduced ZPPD (zinc and phosphates) and will NOT provide adequate conditions for flat tappets. (bring on those rollers, Jake!) Read all about it here pelican 911 thread Charles Navarro has done the homework for us. It has been discussed a few times before, but I missed it a previous oil thread Guess I was niave, I thought oil had to be slippery and clean. It is more of a consumable than I realized because the various additives get USED UP. There is no kicking the ZPPD habit. We gotta have it. I've already put more miles on this SM grade oil than I should have. I hope it isn't too late. If nothing else, get some of one of the additives mentioned and fortify that oil. I;m going to the Amsoil Harley MC oil because I can get it TODAY. |
