Quite a bit of bad info on this site regarding oil. This article above should be a sticky here.... I'm looking forward to hearing what BOB M has to say and recommend. |
Valvoline VR1 Racing oil conventional 20-50 change it every 15 hrs
|
Ken is in the oil business, he always offers solid, statistical based advice. One approach is to ask all what is the best oil in a defined price range?..... $3-5 qt or $13 qt? The Mobil 1 20-50 motorcycle oil is now selling for under $10 qt....with high Zinc.

ZDDP is required in a oil as it is a multifunctional additive. It not only is an anti wear, but an anti-antioxidant, it help prevents the oil from thickening over time.
Roller lifters need less zinc than flat tappet lifters. A 20w40 and a straight 40 are the same viscosity at 210F. The 20w side of the 20w40 will help in cold engine starts, the oil pressure and flow will be faster than a straight 40. I am running 20w50 in a roller cam motor. Ken |

Thanks for all the input. I was hoping that someone other than myself has had problems with lifters. I agree with all of you that running a light oil is not good.
|
You never said what lifters your running and how much preload?
|
Not sure on the preload,but cam and lifters are Preditor

Same here Rotella T 15/40 - Diesel oil has all the extra zinc and additives you get in the racing oil without the cost.
