<VV> Oil with ZDDP

[Eric S. Eberhard]

Many mfg of oil have an oil for flat tappet engines (it will say so 
on the bottle).  This has ZDDP (zinc and other stuff) at levels 
closer to older motor oil than what is generally used now.  Diesel 
oil now no longer normally contains enough either.  Often you can 
find the level at the mfg site.  I use Mobil 1 15-50 "racing" oil 
which is also labeled for flat tappet engines.  According to their 
site it has 1600 ppm zinc which is as high as I have seen (a lot of 
the others have 1200).  Anyway, it is a great readily available (as 
in Walmart) oil at a reasonable price. Eric
