I have been buying Brad Penn oil for sometime and it works well in the roadrunner but it's $8 a quart. I was given an 11oz bottle of that Rislone ZZDP additive so I was wondering if I just bought the less expensive oil at Costco and tossed that stuff in it might be way cheaper and do the same type of protecting as the Brad Penn. Anyone use that additive?? 7791676-Risleone.jpg (60 downloads)

I believe they are running a free shipping promo now. I add a bottle to off the shelf 10W-40 at oil change time. Common sense is a flower that does not grow in everybody's garden

I've been using ZDDPlus along with whatever 5gal jug of 10-30 is cheapest at Wallyworld. Has anyone had an oil analysis done on any of the Zinc additive products to find out if their claims are true?

I contacted Rislone about 6 months ago to verify my math and they confirmed that its about 15,500 ppm zinc. That's a great ratio given the volume of the bottle. You can use any oil you want (I'm using regular Valvoline 10/30), I calculated IIRC that my crankcase ppm is now right about 1600ppm assuming the valvoline is about 800 to start with. I believe the Rislone product to be a great solution (pun intended) and I like the fact it's an off the shelf item at a good price.

Adding 4oz to 4-5 qts of regular oil brings the zinc to 1200-1500 ppm (which I think is in the recommended level). http://www.lucasoil.com/products/display_products.sd?iid=82&catid=9&loc=show&headTitle= - Engine Break-In Oil Additive - TB Zinc Plus

In fact I have 2 bottle's right now in my garage sitting in the top of my tool box. My buddy works at Pep Boys and thats how I found it as they carry it in stock. I have also used the Comp ZINC additive but this was a bit cheaper and has worked very good for me with my flat tappet solid cam. Ron Last edited by 383man; 07/27/13 04:53 PM.

I don't know if he was FOS or not but seemed to really know his stuff,infact when I approched the counter about oils they called him from the back

According to Valvoline, both have high zinc for flat tappet applications, so no need to add any more. http://www.valvoline.com/products/consumer-products/motor-oil/racing-motor-oil/6 http://www.valvoline.com/products/consumer-products/motor-oil/racing-motor-oil/8

Still need to be around 1600 so why waste money on the VR?
