The standard 20w50 says "High Zinc" on the jugs. Not sure how much is in either.

The reports I read on scorch tests and such, and insight from here on OSO, leads me to believe AmsOil is about as good as it gets.

Thanks. Brad.

Which Amsoil ae you going to run if not Z-Rod? Dominator?

This right here. Low tension ported metric rings and plateau honing = redused friction(particles),less heat and a proven gain in power output.

Where is the contamination coming from?

Great Price on the VR1.

I have the System 1 stainless mesh re-usable filter. I have to confirm the micron rating. There's different sizes available.

Should be interesting to see how they work out. Cleaning them pay be a PITA.

I run a clearview 60 micron same as wixR which lets me check filter when I want to see if it has anything concerning in it, with oil changes every 25h or so. All -12AN lines and an accusump to on start up and god forbid an dips in oil pressure underway.
