Response to my request for specs on the oil.

Allen


Dear Allen,
Thank you for your inquiry about Penn Grade 1 racing oil. It seems that
the buzz of the industry today is the amount of ZDDP. Our racing oil,
The Green Oil, is being heavily requested by all racing segments
including historic, vintage and restoration/muscle cars; especially
engines using flat tappet cams.  We have been contacted by numerous
Triumph and Porsche Clubs concerning issues with some of todays motor
oils. With our racing oils, we did not reduce the level of ZDDP (zinc
anti-wear additive); in addition, we obtain a unique cut from our tower
that causes our racing oil to tenaciously cling to engine parts,
especially to flat tappet and roller cams minimizing wear in the
engine. Its just not the zinc but the proper additive balance that
separates our oil from the rest. With Cam manufactures such as ISKY,
CRANE, HOWARDS, CAM MOTION to name a few that our recommending our oil
we meet the test.  I have also copied by this e mail a BRAD PENN
distributor who can assist you with you lubricant needs. I have
attached a recent article that will give you some additional insight.
Thank you

with it an industry connotation for being one of the best sources of
high quality lubricant base stocks in the world.  Our BRAD PENN.
refinery, the oldest continuously operating lube oil refinery in the
United States, still refines 100% Pennsylvania grade crude oil.  PA
grade crude oil is a very thermally stable paraffinic crude oil which
contains no asphaltic constituents.  This makes it an ideal choice from
which to refine premium quality base oils.  Because we use only one
crude stock, our refined products are of consistently high quality and
performance. 

BRAD PENN. brand products are truly MADE IN THE U.S.A.  American

that racers, engine builders and enthusiasts alike have all come to
know and love!  The unique green color and outstanding performance of
our Penn Grade 1 Racing oils set them apart from the competition.

BRAD PENN. Penn Grade 1. Racing Oils are formulated using a unique base
oil cut from our tower, which gives our PG 1 racing oils exceptional
film strength and unsurpassed metal wetting abilities.  This unique
base oil causes our PG 1 racing oil to cling tenaciously to engine
parts to minimize wear during high engine torque loading and/or periods
of heavily stressed operation such as those experienced during
competition.  This same oil cling helps prevent dry-start
conditions to minimize wear even after the engine has been sitting idle
for extended periods.
BRAD PENN. Penn Grade 1. Racing Oils also contain highly effective
detergent and dispersant additives to guarantee exceptional engine
cleanliness as well as oxidation and foam inhibitors that offer
protection against thermal degradation and air entrainment.

In addition to our unique base oil cut, increased concentration of
zinc (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate a.k.a. ZDDP) provides outstanding
anti-wear/anti-scuffing protection for engines employing either flat
tappet or roller cams.  BRAD PENN. Penn Grade 1. Racing Oils have been
evaluated by a number of premiere camshaft manufacturers with
tremendous success. Many are now recommending our PG 1 racing oils to
provide outstanding protection for their flat tappet or roller cams.

The American Refining Group, Inc. offers a comprehensive line of BRAD
PENN. lubricants such as gear oil, grease and other items to meet the
majority of racing needs.  We also offer a complete line of lubricants
for todays passenger car, fleet, commercial and industrial
applications.
