Yes, you need it with any flat tappet cam or you risk early failure.
Relax Ace. So I left out the .00, big freaking deal. That is how Rotella's specs were listed in the post by '74 sport that I responded to. There is no "myth mongering" here. By the Rotella specs which were posted, Rotella now has 8.99% ( I assume they mean 899ppm) and that is not enough Zinc. I posted 1,100ppm as the minimum most manufacturers specify, not as the content in Rotella. Apparently you are more reading comprehension challenged than anyone else is math challenged. Maybe you should make sure have at least some clue what you are talking about before putting up such an arrogant, condescending post.
It was 74 Sports' post quoting Rotella's MSDS that said 8.99%. I was quoting him and said I assumed they meant 899ppm. I don't have any dreadful insecurity problems that make me want to correct every little thing people miss. Pretty much everything I have read about cam manufacturers recommendations says that 1,100 ppm is the minimum you want. If you go throught the old threads on this that is the concentration pretty much everyone agreed on as what they had read too. Maybe you should quit now before everyone realizes what an asshole you are.
Right, got it. You like to parrot stuff you hear or read and don't understand. That equates to rumor mongering, when in this case, you mis-translate what the numbers actually mean. Any idea what mixture 3 is? :read2:
Look, someone posted information from the Rotella MSDS that seemed to indicate that they had reduced the Zinc content (which many people here had heard they were going to) and I commented on his post. I didn't run to the top of the nearest mountian and shout that no one should use Rotella, nor did I post that, and it is you who mis-translated what I said. Do you have stock in Shell or something? Why would you call me names? I didn't butt into your conversation and attack you for saying things you didn't say. I realize that you think you are God's all-knowing, all-seeing gift to the rest of us lowly FABO members who know nothing but even if I had said what you thought there are such things as class and tact. You should look those terms up sometime and drop the attack mode garbage.
Me too. I have always wanted to meet him so I can tell him I run leaded racing gas in my street car.
Maybe I have been under a rock or something but this thread is the first place I have heard about Gibbs oil. I'll have to check it out.
That is awesome. I couldn't have said it better.
Thanks for the support John. God knows I don't know everything and if I get something wrong and someone explains it I appreciate it and am more than happy to admit blowing it but there is no reason for attacks over nothing among fellow MOPAR men.
Thanks to you too Rob.
