<VV> Get your Oil

Mark,

I've not seen a 10-40 recently with adequate ZDDP for our engines.  I think 
this is why folks are suggesting the 15-50, because it is on the shelf with 
adequate ZDDP levels.

You are adding the ZDDP, so you don't seem to have a problem with that. 
Most of us (including me) would not know how much to add when considering 
just exactly WHAT oil we are using it with.  Also, ever go to the FLAPS and 
ask for ZDDP?  What was the response?

Later, JR

Everyone; The 10 W 40 might be a better bet. If you have paid any
attention to Richard Widman's oil articles, the Corvair Engine was
designed to flow 30 WT oil.
