As is usual there is a lot of good discourse and experience shared by the list. What triggered my question on oil and oil additives was the observation of a bottle of Red Line 10W40 image that did not display the usual statement that it contains ZDDP. For decades I have used that oil as it carries proper oil pressure, suites the climate, etc. However, if Red Line stopped including ZDDP, I would find another oil. I also recalled that some time back, Bob Spidell having to find a new outlet for Valvoline 20W50 as it seemed that it no longer cleared some California rule changes. I wondered it this happened to Red Line.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black">So, I sent off an inquiry to Red Line and not getting a rapid response sent one to our Healey group. The Healey group was much faster to respond. While most business are slowed down by COVID-19, a Red Line response did come. The assurance is that Red Line Motor Oil 10W40 (SKU 11404) contains good ZDDP levels, plenty for an Austin Healey's flat tappet cam and lifters; 1225ppm zinc and more importantly 1375ppm phosphorus.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black">As to their break in additive, their Web site indicates that a half bottle is enough to add to a conventional oil. It also has bit of sulfur, 16.6 grams. I have to wonder if adding it to their 10W40 could result in too much. I am just not inclined to experiment.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black">The 3000’s owner’s manual only mentions 30 weight oil, even for tropical heat. However, the “Work shop Manual” (the Green Book) has a much more expansive table that promotes a lot of weights depending on the manufacturer. The aspect that modern oils are a bit different than those available when the book came out adds a bit more uncertainty. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black">I am confident using the 10W40. I used 10W50 in my Triumph, but it was an air-cooled engine and was REAL hard to start in freezing weather. There were also a lot of reputable recommendations that led me to Red Line’s 10W40. The oil pressure is proper, so I don’t see an upside for me to use a heavier oil.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black">Many thanks to the folks who responded. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black">Bill</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div></div></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div></div></div></div><div id="gmail-m_8580753241976023623yiv0208102013yqt19328"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">_______________________________________________<br>Support Team.Net <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys </a><a href="http://autox.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br><br><a href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank">Healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/warthodson@aol.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/warthodson@aol.com</a><u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="gmail-m_8580753241976023623DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
