I've never had a problem with this, and I don't use any of these boutique oils you guys speak of
But I haven't used any recent production, new lifters in probably 10 years.
I have a car that I am doing a cam swap in this spring "because I want to" and I found a set of new MP lifters that are probably 30 years old still in the wrapper. I'll use VR1 for the first couple of oil changes and then probably whatever I can get.
