The past several years, I've used Mobil Delvac.  It is readily available at 
ruck stops.
I used CompCams break-in oil with the last 2 cams.  It is available from Summit, 
ut I bought it at the local speed shop.
I don't know where to find EOS.

When my brand new cam went flat on #2 intake lobe within 300 miles (wasting all 
he brand new bearings and such) the engine builder said I must not have used an 
il with ZDDT.
BS or not, I'm not taking any chances with this new motor. It has hydraulic 
ifters and is up to about 3,000 miles now. This is the third oil change.

  I'm having a real hard time finding any oil with ZDDT.



An excellent option is to use Red Line break-in engine additive.  I visited Red 
ine Oil back in December (their factory is right down the road from me) and 
poke with their engineers.  They suggested a half-bottle of their additive with 
 typical 8-10 quart oil system.

They stressed that it's only necessary for solid-lifter engines.  It can't 
hurt* on something else, but you don't really *need* it except for solid 
ifters.  I threw a half-bottle in my solid-lifter 427 Cobra motor, just in 
ase.
