[Spridgets] (no subject)

[Deikis, John G]

If SG is the highest spec shown, it's got appropriate amount of zinc and
phosphorus for flat tappet motors. There may be other specialty
additives for that particular application (ATVs), but I understand
"motorcycle oils", specifically those NOT claiming to meet any
energy-saving API spec, are suitable for older engines.

Since the topic has come up again, I'll see what the list thinks. I was
looking at all of the oils specifications in Chuckleheads (Checkers) the
other week, and found that the 10w-40 oil for 4wheelers (ATVs) has an SG
spec, implying that it still has the (for us) needed amounts of ZDDP in
it. the price is commensurate with standard 10w-40 oils. Any inputs as
to its suitability? It sure would cost less than $100 a case.
