My understanding is that modern engine oils no longer contain zinc which is required for the longevity of flat tappet cams and lifters as used in older vehicles. Has anyone else heard of this?
I was reading recently that in the USA, they get around this by using oil made for diesel engines as the oil has the zinc content. I'm interested in people thoughts and experiences? |
