Received some interesting information today.  Marc Haibeck of Addison, Ill. is
one of 4 technicians that work on the 1990-1995 ZR-1 Corvette engines and is
the only person in the world that works on them full time.  These are 32 valve
flat tappet engines.  Only a little over 5,000 of them were made.  Haibeck
became interested in AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Premium Protection Motor Oil
(AMO) when he learned it is specifically designed to meet the needs of car
engines with flat tappets, such as those in the ZR-1.  He said " API
specifications do not meet the requirements of the ZR-1 engines.  The removal
of the EP additives makes the oil incompatible with the LT5 engines.  AMO
conforms to the SG specifications and I made a big discovery that as the oil
evolves it doesn't necessarily get better; it's simply changing."  He
recommends AMSOIL AMO for all flat tappet engines as "it is blended specially
to address this technical requirement.  AMSOIL solves the problem".  He
further stated, "Many of my customers were using Mobil 1 and I expected people
to resist the AMSOIL, but I have not had a single person question my
recommendation yet.
Guess the above sort of explains why I have mentioned the AMSOIL AMO as
something those of us with flat tappet engines ought to be considering.
API-SL rated oil is great for flat tappets but DO NOT use API-SM rated oils as
they do not have enough ZDDP.  I might also mention that Boyd Coddington has
now standardized all of his vehicles on AMSOIL products.
