break in oils

[70 Forest Green Zee]

I have been stock piling the older version of Rotella, the one with API rating of CI-4. It has started to be hard to find but if you look you can still find it. I think that retailers are mixing their old stock in with the new so if you look one week and they don't have any, check back the next week and you may find some. The new Rotella oil with the new API rating of CJ-4 has greatly reduced levels of the ZDDP which many of us want in our oil. I don't believe that Shell will make Rotella with the CI-4 rating and the higher levels of ZDDP any more so start looking for it and buy every quart that you can find.

Here is an oil tech report from hughes engines.They build strictly Mopar engines but the information sounds really good to me.I run th additive they sell.I buy it by the case and I have not had any problems yet!As a matter of fact we just fired up my soninlaws 340 dart today and used the rotella and a bottle of this additive.I do know it is some SLICK STUFF!

We have switched to Gibbs oil as well- the break in stuff on the dyno and a different grade (XP3 I think??) once the engine is in the car. This is after I just lost a super high buck bilet ROLLER cam using RedLine race oil! Made me wonder what a flat tappet cam would do with RedLine, Gibbs seems to have done thier homework and the oil even made a little HP on the dyno. 3 races with it and no measurable wear (yet).
