oil??

[Z-train]

Agree with Mike except i'd use synthetic after break-in.

valvoline with zinc is all the dime gets. It needs the zinc since other oil doesnt have it :(

 

 

Royal Purple has zinc. It's an SL oil still, not an SM. They never went away from the old formula. And I like the VR1, but I don't think it's necessary for the KA motors. Think I'll be switching to some Castrol full synthetic in it. Damn lifters are noisy at startup.

With my fresh rebuild on my Z22 I am thinking on going synthetic, good idea guys?

Give it a few thou to thoroughly break in first. The rings and walls need to 'wear and seal' against each other for maximum compression.

Will do, Thanks again! :D

Ditto that. Our autocross president learned that the hard way. He built an SR20 and switched to synthetic too soon, rings never broke in properly. Had to disassemble and re-hatch the cylinders.

ValVoline is what I use with a quart of lucas. Whatever you use I think we all agree NO PENNZOIL! I have seen what that shit does to mot....I mean engines.

I use Castrol and Wix Filters.

Am I the only one who uses Kendall? At least for the engines I care about!

 

Edit: not motors..

i do!!! but finding it around my home isn't easy. no one carries it. whenever my Passat goes to my mechanic for an oil change, he uses Kendall. i have a case of Kendall 10W30 in the back of my dodge thats gonna go in when i get the motor rebuilt.

after a good breakin, i dont see why not. hell 2 of my rigs now run synthetic. my Passat (150K) and my Cherokee (254K) both run with a bottle of Lucas.
