Dan,
Look on the bottle and see what rating the Mobil One is.
If its from 2 yrs ago its probably pre-SM rating and should have enough ZDDP as it is.

Jimminy Cricket - isn't anything simple anymore with a Pantera? Not even an oil
hange?
he engine builder lubed the new cam with break in grease, and I ran Kendall
0/50 with ZDDP for the first 1,000 miles, and then again for the next 2,000
iles.
his time (at 3,000 miles) I'll probably use up some of the Mobil One I've been
itting on.
heir website shows a chart with the amounts of ZDDP, so assuming it hasn't
hanged since I bought this oil (2 years ago) I'll use their chart to figure how
uch ZDDP addtitive to add, without over-doing it.
irst, I'll contact Mobil One and see if the formulation has changed since 2009.
t's no wonder everyone is going to hydraulic roller cams.
ere is a link to their table: http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Files/Mobil_1_Product_Guide.pdf

an, Summit sells both a 10W30 'break-in' oil from Comp Cams ($4.95/qt-
CA-1590), or an additive from Comp Cams ($10.95/12 oz -CCA-159) or from
rick-Flow ($9.95/12 oz -TFS-94000). There are some indications that TOO MUCH
DDP in your oil is nearly as bad as not enough, so by using 5 qts of Comp's
break-in' oil, you avoid the guessing, mixing and extra expense needed to get
he current-good levels of about 1200 ppm with someone else's 5 qts of oil. Good
uck this year- J DeRyke
