Re: Engine Oil Ranking

I add a bottle of Lucas Break-in oil (high zinc content) at every 5,000 mile oil change with conventional Castrol oil, and I have a full roller engine! I figure if its beneficial for flat tappet set-ups, it can't hurt a full roller.

I've read most of those threads, and they've been helpful. However, I always felt I was reading opinions rather than getting hard scientific data. I feel the link I posted is, at minimum, an attempt to provide data in an easy to read format and could help members pick an oil based on the data. This link https://540ratblog.wordpress.com/201...-test-ranking/ from the second thread you referenced appears to provide similar data if a person has the patience to read the whole thing.
