Oil with zinc? - Competition Diesel.Com

Vice97 · 05-06-2014, 07:43 PM

Just wondering if there are engine oils out there that already have plenty of zinc in them, I just don't really want to buy additive if I can get oil with it already in it. I hear that Schaeffers has zinc but their website doesn't say it.

Schaefer's racing oil has extra zinc. Also Brad Penn.

I run brad Penn and no additives in the puller.

Brad Penn is very good stuff

I use Champion Classic Blue Flame. As I recall that product has a lot of zinc.

Schaffer or valvoline vr1

Ok, after doing some research i have decided i like the Brad Penn oil. So heres my next question: Should i used their 30w break in oil and change it after a cam break in only, or just go ahead an run the 15w 40 for the break in and not worry about changing it after?

Also joe gibbs racing oil has the zinc

Amsoil Diesel & Marine 15W40 is a CI-4 high zinc oil.

Drothgeb · 07-17-2014, 09:15 AM

I've been running the Amsoil for many years. Good oil, plenty of zinc.

I believe delo 400 left has a higher than average amount and it is a base oil.

*Big Blue24* · 07-17-2014, 09:36 PM

Delo 400 LE has 0.13% Zinc or 1300 PPM. Looks like 1400-1600 PPM is recommended range for an aftermarket cam with the higher end better the more aggressive the cam.

12valvetater · 07-17-2014, 11:05 PM

I use a bottle of zddplus with delo 400 left. I just sent a sample out so when I get the results back I'll post them up.

What about Mobil Delvac?
