<VV> Oil

[Marc Marcoulides]

Valvoline Racing is designed to be used for one race then removed. Until now I have used Shell Rotella because of the Zinc. Shell is discontinuing production of this product but I still have some in my garage for my use

>After much research, I recently settled on Valvoline Full Synthetic Racing Oil, High Zinc, 10W/30; be advised, this product comes in both a synthetic blend, as-well-as a full synthetic... as I tend to lean towards the "best" for my Vairs; hence, I chose the full-synthetic. Both the blend and the full-synthetic are specifically engineered for flat-tappet engines.

>Previously, after break-in period, I was using Mobil1 + a ZDDP additive. Now, with this Valvoline product, I can (and do) skip the ZDDP additive. OBTW: too much ZDDP can be harmful (corrosion, deposits, etc.).

>Since switching to the Vavoline product, engine mechanical sounds are less, especially at cold start up; and, oil consumption, from burn off, is nill. I found Wallmart, online, to be the best (read: in stock and least expensive) source. And that's my 2-cents worth.
