Re: Marine Lubrication
...Also found out the Flat Tappet guys like Redline 20W-50 for that reason as well...tons of moly and zddp AFter a couple years of being in the oil business my conclusion is the racing guys use a good base and lots of anti-wear additives...ZDDP and Moly are the ones that work...most of the rest are snake oil...Teflon...graphite...are worthless or destructive...Zinc..Phosphorous and Moly rule..and throw in sulphur for the drive as well....plus good detergents and good anti-corrosion agents for the marine environment...!! |

Hydrocruiser I figured you might want to see this.I just tore down my motors for the winter and cut open the filters to see whats in them .This is the inside of a Wix eqivilant to the Fram HP6 which Sells thru Napa as a 1222R Napa/Wix racing filter.I measured the paper element stretched out it was 7.10 foot long.You can see the by pass and the spring that holds the cartridge in place .It kinda looks like a valve spring :eek:
What ya think? Rob :drink: |

Re: Marine Lubrication
I would think the Fram HP 6 is made close to the same way?
