Re: [Amc-list] ZDDP Mobil Oil List

True but I see no reason to spend over 100.00 for an oil change. I have had good luck with the 4.50 QT Valvoline Not street legal racing oil.( Has enough zink to use after brake in ) 
   But that's just my experience. Broke in my engine with said Valvoline and a qt of GM EOS and worked out fine.

  As for high content of zinc, the Joe Gibbs Break-in Oil has about 2800 ppm of ZDP which is 2.5 times the amount in CJ4 style diesel oils. The BR oil is $6.99/quart. The Hot Rod oil contains roughly 1500 ppm along with anti-friction and anti-rust additives for street/strip use in engines that tend to sit for days without being run. The HR oil is $9.99/quart. They also have all out racing oil for a number of different sanctions. Remember, you get what you pay for and oil is no place to save a buck.

"Motorhead" makes a special high zinc and phosporous oil. 0.250% zinc, 
doesn't give phosphorous amount in the ad. Check www.motorheadoil.com. 
They also make a 0.125% zinc oil, and a "ZBoost" (zinc boost) additive 
for $9.95 that treats 5-6 quarts, bringing zinc levels back up to 
API-SL levels (0.110% zinc).
I haven't tried it and get nothing from Motorhead, except for a $40 paid 
ad in AMC. ($40 gets vendors a 1/3 page ad for a year!!
