I had a cam go flat once. Not fun.fatalifeaten wrote:I keep forgetting to do that.Blue Baron wrote:I also buy oil additive with ZDDP. Modern oils are not formulated with the zinc that's important for pushrod engines.
Go to your regular auto parts store like Advance or Auto Zone and shop the oil additives, and look for one that lists ZDDP as an active ingredient. You may have to look on the back of the label to find it. One $7 bottle is good for two oil changes. If you can't find it, Google ZDDP and find it online.kepoes wrote:what type of oil's have this ZDDP Oil Additive? is it a can by its self? or is it mix in the motor oil cans at the store already? I see it online but there single cans of 4oz..
