Motor oil

According to the oil company Chemist's I've talked to, you need 1100 ppm ZDDP for the old flat tappet cams. Rotella T has 1200 ppm, Valvoline VR1 has 1200, the 'not street legal' has 1300 BUT you need to change the oil every 500 miles because it doesn't have all the additives, Brad Penn is the old Kendall GT1 and has 1500 ppm.

Thanks for all the good info! I have not yet fired up the Yenko for the season, and plan to change the oil first - just wasn't sure which oil to buy! I've got a local NAPA, might have try this Valvoline VR1 or 'N.S.L.' stuff.

I highly recommend the VR1,but you should always change your oil before you store it.The previous years useage alone breaks down and weakens your oils defenses considerably,and just leaving that sitting on your journals,walls,lobes,crankcase etc. for 6 months or more is when the chemical damage really begins to attack those vital internal surfaces.-Ron Paul
