Motor oil?

War-Jeeper said:
Good question, i do know they have been slowly fasing it out of refular motor oil as well, some of the hot rod guys that come into the store put diesel oil into there cars because it has zinc in it:eeek:

for reference here is standard Valvoline oil Product Data sheet, looks like.08%

So regular oil is 0.08%

Delo 400 LE is 0.13%

:eeek:

Got a link to the research on the zinc as an oil additive?
 
According to Mobil it's phosphorus not zinc...


The active ingredient that you are talking about is phosphorus which is added thru a component called ZDDP. For products that meet the new ILSAC GF-4 specification the phosphorus levels for the oil must be less than 800 ppm phosphorus. The ILSAC level for phosphorus has been reduced to protect the catalytic converter and other emission protection equipment. The engine manufacturers are confident that this level of phosphorus will protect both new and older engines. However, there are Mobil 1 products which have a higher level of phosphorus (phos) and can be used in engines in racing or high performance applications; see the attached table.

The zinc is the big one :awesomework: which is causing premature engine failure, not the phosphourus
 
Cant seem to find a precentage of phorphorus on the Premium Blue, im going to send them an e-mail and try and get a precentage of both phosphorus and zinc from them for my work as well as the delo so i have an example comaparison to show folks at work
 
Whatever is in the bulk oil container :redneck:

15w40 something--I think its penzoil
 
haha, a friend of mine got that big container full of fresh pennzoil.. I told him I'd bring it to the recycler for him.
