> Over the last few years, the dwindling amounts of ZDDP in off-the-shelf
> engine oils have sent many collector-car enthusiasts scrambling for
> alternatives that include enough zinc to keep their engines with
> flat-tappet camshafts running. Diesel oil worked for a while, and we
> even heard some accounts of guys crushing up tablets of raw zinc to dump
> into their engines. In recent weeks, however, two new companies have
> begun offering oils with the ZDDP levels of yore.
>
> First, Comp Cams and Endure Performance Lubricants have teamed up to
> offer a new line of ZDDP-enhanced engine oils for critical break-in
> periods in flat tappet-equipped and racing engine applications. Offered
> in two synthetic-blended viscosities, 10W30 and 15W50, Comp Cams Engine
> Break-in oil is to be used for classic engines that have recently been
> machined or sit for long periods of time. It is also recommended for
> initial break-in on high horsepower engines. Engine Break-in Oil
> protects all rotating assembly surfaces and internal engine components,
> and the proprietary mix of ZDDP additives prevents scuffing of metal
> surfaces. Another performance formulation, Muscle Car and Street Rod
> Engine Oil, is also available in 10W30 and 15W50, and is used after
> break-in has been completed. Both formulations require no additional
> supplements or additives; everything you need is right in the same
> bottle. Comp Cams Break-In Oil and Muscle Car and Street Rod Engine Oil
> are compatible with all racing and pump gas, including methanol or 102
> octane. This advanced formulation reduces internal engine sludge and
> varnish caused by additives in conventional mineral-based oils.
>
> Endure Lubricants' well known Comp Cams Engine Break-In Additive
> supplement will still be offered for those enthusiasts who prefer
> another oil formulation such as the 15W40 diesel oil that many camshaft
> and engine manufacturers have been recommending since zinc and
> phosphorus started disappearing from engine oil. The additive is offered
> in 12-ounce bottles, or for an engine repair shop or large fleet, a
> 5-gallon container is also available.
>
> Second, Champion Hi-Tech Racing Lubricants has recently created a new
> Classic and Muscle synthetic motor oil formulation that contains
> premeasured ZDDP additives. Offered as a synthetic/mineral oil blend,
> Champion Classic and Muscle oil is available in both 10W30 and 20W50
> weights. A full synthetic 15W50 is also produced. The synthetic blend
> viscosities contain .16 percent zinc and .14 percent phosphorus for
> additional lubrication of performance engines with roller camshafts
> and/or flat tappets. The ZDDP additives have been available for quite
> some time; however, Champion Hi-Tech was one of the first companies to
> incorporate the additive into the oil.
>
> Easily identifiable by its blue color, Classic and Muscle oil is ideal
> for classic cars that spend extended periods of time in storage, as it
> provides protection of all internal engine surfaces at initial start-up.
> It also has a unique thermal viscosity stabilizer that delivers
> consistent oil film strength at higher temperatures, horsepower and
> compressions.
>
> Champion Classic and Muscle Oil has also been chosen as the official oil
> of the 2011 Great Race, which is sponsored by Hemmings Motor News, takes
> place between Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Bennington, Vermont, on June
> 11-17, 2011.
