[DeTomaso] Zinc question

[pantdino at aol.com]

 The latest formulations of Diesel-Gas oil have less ZDDP than the previous ones because of new requirement from the government. But they still have about what gas-engine oils used to have, so they are OK for engines like ours.

Thanks, I will go to that website.  I heard that Shell Rotella might be changing 
for the worse, soon, however.

Sincerely,

Chris

 Go to bobistheoilguy.com and do a search for EOS- this was discussed in the 
past and it will say how much you should add per quart or whatever.



But if you just use Rotella, Delvac, or one of the other oils approved for 
diesel and gas engines you won't have to worry about it because they still have 
enough zinc (ZDDP).

They did drop EOS (Engine Oil Supplement) for a while last year. It was

recently reinstated under a new part number, 88862586. It is no longer

labeled Engine Oil Supplement. It's now called EOS Assembly Lubricant.

"Specifically formulated as an engine assembly lubricant E.O.S. provides

outstanding protection against run-in wear and piston scuffing as well as

run-in camshaft lobe and lifter scuffing resulting from insufficient

lubrication."

The label is a cover-yer-ass statement to keep them from being sued by the 

govt for selling something that slowly poisons cataytic converters. For your



cat-less Pantera, don't worry about it. Except to remember that EOS may not

be 

available forever so if it works for you, stock up now. The next stage is 

usually to drop a product for 'poor sales'.... like R-12 freon. FWIW- J
