@penetrus Not!!!!!!!!!!!!

@penstate79 ... critical splash-lubricated components require. Check my channel and website link for more information on these AMSOIL high zinc oils and they have amongst the highest levels of zinc of any oil on the market. I am offering a free wholesale prices account for everyone.

@penstate79...efficiency. In addition, these areas are splash-lubricated rather than pressure lubricated like other areas of the engine, which adds extra strain on anti-wear additives like the zinc and phosphorus in zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP).AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with high levels of ZDDP to protect flat-tappet cams, lifters, rockers and other areas susceptible to wear. Its high-zinc, high-phosphorus formulation provides the extra wear protection these...

@penstate79-The AMSOIL synthetic motor oils I listed below are for API SL applications, back when camshafts weren't failing from lack of the extreme pressure zinc additive. The lifters and cam lobes on flat-tappet camshafts common to classic and high performance vehicles slide rapidly against one another, producing high friction and heat. The friction between the two components can eventually wear down the cam and affect valve operation, ultimately resulting in lost engine power and reduced...

@penetrus no it isnt, it has been used since the 1930s.

@HiTechOilCo See Moss Motors and search for ZDDP, you will find an explanation in a PDF file.

@HiTechOilCo NOT enough for older engines with solid lifters thus destroyed camshafts. ZDDP damages catalytic converters. EPA has required catalytic converters that last 150,000 miles by 2009. Carmakers worked with the oil industry to develop oils that have nothing that would damage the converter. ZDDP was reduced to 0.075% in the API SM grade oil in 2004.

@tadaa11 - AMSOIL AMO 10W-40 has 1,378 PPM of Zinc/ZDDP. AMSOIL Series 3000 5W-30 has 1,379 PPM of Zinc. AMSOIL Dominator oils have 1,575 PPM of Zinc. All excellent oils providing outstanding engine protection. For more information check my channel. I am offering a free wholesale prices, Preferred Customer membership for anyone that would like one.

@penstate79 - *All* motor oils have zinc/ZDDP in them.

ZDDP is very aggressive and corrosive for the typical engine. Don't use this.
