<VV> Oil with ZDDP

[J R Read_HML]

Well, I think I found my answer for the moment.  A bit pricey, but will put 
my mind at ease.

>From the Royal Purple web site...

PASTE:
Do your motor oils contain zinc and phosphorous?

Yes. All Royal Purple engine oils contain the zinc/phosphorous compound zinc 
dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP) and are suitable for both roller and flat 
tappet valve trains.

Can your oil be used with flat tappet cams?

Yes. For stock or mildly modified flat tappet valve trains (<.525” lift), we 
recommend our SAE 10W40, 15W40 or 20W50 engine oils. In applications with 
flat tappet valve trains using high-lift cams and/or high RPM applications, 
we strongly recommend upgrading to our XPR line of engine oils as these have 
an even greater concentration of ZDDP providing excellent protection with 
the higher spring pressures. For a viscosity recommendation, contact our 
Tech Dept. at 888-382-6300.

END PASTE

I got $3.00 back from a $50 - for 5 quarts.  I'll look into the Brad Penn 
oil for a product and price comparison.

Later, JR
