Re: [Amc-list] motor oil confusion

" From: Joe Smith <know_ware@xxxxxxxxx>

" I am confused about the motor oil information.  When I read about the
" high ZDDP oils, they are either for diesel engines or they say to
" change at 500 miles, but the other forums I have read say leave it in
" for 3000 to 10000 miles!!

the 500 milers are probably break-in oils.  it's normal to change oil
at that point on a fresh [re]build.

" I have a OHV 196, so, what is best?  I just changed oil also.  Is
" there an additive that I can put in so that I don't waste this fresh
" oil?

gm eos is probably the easiest solution, but you might only find it at
the larger gm parts depts.  btw it's been around for a while, but now
it's also getting an acdelco part number.  stp used to have a red
bottle 4-cyl additive that was mostly zddp, but it's been taken off
the market.
