<VV> OIL

[Bob Gilbert]

Hi,

I'm trying to summarise these last dozen or so emails  for my context in
which I am about to build a 3.1 (290 CI) big block Corvair motor with Ray
Sedman components for my UltraVan:

It seems that the following would be good to do

1) Build using STP for the "build lubricant"
2) Use Mobil synthetic for normal running

Is that correct?

Regards,
Bob

Here is a link to the website for ZDDPlus.   This product has the highest
percentage/ppm of Zinc/Phosphorus in the industry.

http://www.zddplus.com/

Be sure to read the Tech Bulletins regarding questions you may have
regarding oil, viscosity, additives, etc.  Also, go half-way down the page
for 'Laboratory Test Results' for comparison of other additives (STP
included).  You should be well aware that ZDDPlus is the best product to add
to your oil that will bring your oil back to pre-1988 'SF' API
classifications.  FYI:  The origination of ZDDPlus was by a man who operates
a facility that evaluates DNA (similar to where samples are sent on your
favorite cop TV program...CSI, etc.).  He compared 'SF' oil with current
oils (now 'SM') and determined what was missing, chemically...thus the
creation of ZDDPlus.  I've been distributing the product for quite a few
years and it is in every one of my solid tappet motors (no need for
hydraulic lifters and a no-no' for catalytic converters).  The under $10
price-tag is the best value for one oil change as opposed to pricier oils
(which have less ppm of Zinc/Phosphorus).  It is simply  a 4-ounce bottle
added to the filled capacity of your crankcase.

Nothing to debate as the testing a tech bulletins tell you everything you
need to know.  Enough said.

I haven't read all the posts, but most of them.  After reading Smitty's
post, particularly about the specific viscosities for various applications,
I'm compelled to reiterate Clark Hartzel's suggestion.  Why not just go with
an oil that meets the specific viscosity requirements for your engine and
already has the coveted ZDDP in it?  Brad Penn meets both of those
requirements.  It's not cheap like the stuff you can buy at Wally World, but
it won't break the bank either.  I believe it was Jay that said he will be
picking up a case at the CPW?  Well, so will I.  I do so every year.  No
complaints.    Also available at distributors around the US of A and
probably on FleaBay.
