<VV> More Corvair Oil Confusion?

[Tom Berg]

C series oils are designed for compression-ignition  (diesel) engines. Why would 
you want to use them in a spark-ignition engine?

The CI-4 Plus is the reduced zddp version designed to meet the newer
diesel emissions requirements. If  you look at the semi synthetic and
full synthetic versions, they still also say CI-4. Its been this way
for awhile. However they do advertise the petroleum oil as doing a
much better job at reducing wear in engines by an agressive additive
package. There are other additives that can also help reduce wear.
But, would I use the straight oil in my engine without a ZDDP
additive? No. But I would use the Full synthetic. It has the CI-4 and
is a full synthetic.Mark Durham
