Oil Additive after break-in
I'm sure this has been discussed before but what are you guys using as a additive after 500 miles on a new crate motor? Should I still be using EOS?

Flat tappet cam? I've been using either EOS or Comp Cams engine Breakin Oil Additive. Seems to work, cam's still good. Knock on wood.

Re: Oil Additive after break-in
i use EOS in my '67. i saw in JEGS that valvoline is offering a full synthetic with more zinc in it for the flat tappet cam. it has a rousch racing logo on the bottle. JEGS also offers a break-in lube that cost less than EOS, i have used it also...

Re: Oil Additive after break-in
the 20w-50 valvoline race oil has a high level of zinc but would that be a half way good oil year round?
