I agree with Roger on the use of VR-1 sans additives.  I have been using =
20W50 Valvoline VR-1 in my old Brit motorcycles and my BT7 for well over =
20 years (around when the ZDDP issues arose and I was doing a fair bit =
of motorcycle engine building) and have had no issues with it.  My =
general feeling is that the oil companies do a lot of research into the =
formulation of their products and there is a wide array of product to =
choose from.  It is more a matter of selecting a product from that wide =
array that works for your vehicle, not playing alchemy by making up =
custom mixes.  In my opinion mixing oil products is akin to mixing =
medications; you really don=E2=80=99t know what reactions are going on.  =
We rely on pharmacists to keep us on the straight and narrow with our =
meds, I think we should rely on the oil companies to do likewise with =
our lubricants.

=20

Just my isolated opinion, Cheers, Mirek

Interested to see that you feel it necessary to add additional zinc. VR1 =
already has 1300 ppm ?

Is there a consensus on what amount is actually needed? Think that you =
can have too much too ?

Am a VR1 user but don't add anything.

Hello,

=20

Tagging on to Michael's comment on ZDDP in oils, what additives do folks =
tend to use in their oils.  Products like Red Line's "Engine oil beak-in =
additive"  or something from NAPA, etc.?

=20

Having seen worn cams and pitted tappets, there is a desire to keep that =
sort of wear from happening as best as one can.
