Redline.

“We are well aware of the problem and we still use the correct amounts of those additives in our products”. They are not producing API approved oils so they don’t have to test and comply. Their oils were NOT the “new, improved and approved” ones that destroy flat tappet engines! “We just build the best lubricants possible”. Sounds stupid, doesn’t it, New-Approved but inferior products, but it seems to be true for our cars.

I use Redline in my turbo car. Because the turbo is only oil cooled, not water cooled, I wanted something that would absolutely not break down at high temps. Got the added benfit of high levels of zinc.

Mike Miller, who writes the BMW car club tech column swears by this stuff. When I put their MTL in my Trans and Gear lube in my final drive, I honestly got increased gas mileage over a 6 month period. About .3 mpg. Not much, but measurable. Great products, but you have to plan ahead, as you can't get it at Wally World.

Gotcha Sammy, I thought this Brad Penn guy was from NC - wasn't sure what he was concocting. I was busy looking at your cars on Sunday, so I was only listening with one ear! I need some oil pronto, as I need to get the Yenko to Benjamin's kindergarden class' 'Transportation Day' in a few weeks - he's gonna show his friends how to flat shift!

I didn't say he'd have the keys though He can show his friends by having them watch his feet!

I have recently come across a great product, which when added to the current 'SM' oils, brings the oil to the 'SF' rating for pre-1988 flat-tappet engines. The product is ZDDPlus. After much research, I have added it to all of my '69 Camaros. In fact, I am so confident in the product that I am distributing the product. If you are in need, feel free to PM me.

ZDDPlus

Check out the website especially the tabs on 'diesel oil' and 'racing oil'. Great information depending on the usage of your vintage ride.

I ain't buying anything from a guy named 'lzdick'!

Its good stuff Rich but I am not crazy about additives. The Brad Penn is the best deal in my opinion. Glad you are involved with benjamins school show and tell! He will never forget this early childhood stuff with dad! P.S. it seems oil has become a very important factor lately with these cars. Cam shafts, piston scuff, heat, what have you.
