Solid lifter cam motors
 

Anyone have opinions on oil brands for these motors for best lifter longevity. I have heard Delo heavy duty or Rottella. Need answers before dyno tomorrow. Havn't filled the pans yet.

The newest thing I been hearing is the rotella no longer has the plus 2% zddp in it either,sounds like a pia but the joe gibbs racing oil is supposed to have it BUT typically racing oil isn't formulated to run for 25 or 50 hours. GM E.O.S is still a sure thing though if you want to add some to a high quality off the shelf oil,Smitty

Heard allot of guys using the diesel oil because it still has suffer in them , something like that?

I have always just use straight 30 weight for breakin. I looked at my ecm after dynoing .all day making pulls was only 14 minutes of run time total.


:drink:

Thanks guys. That is what I was hearing also. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only on hearing it.

Hoping to have good luck with these tomorrow.

thats what I was thinking of , Zinc

Rottella I think has it

I believe the Valvoline "Off Road" Racing oil has it too.

Is there a diff between the say 40wt raceing oil and the offroad racing oil????

make sure you video and post the results of the Dyno:cool:

Not sure....

My guess would be the amounts of Zinc because the VR1 is approved for the road and the Off Road doesn't need to meet the emissions standards.

I think the off road also has less detergents.
