Title: Valvoline Blue Line-ZDDP
Post by S-P on 06/16/14 at 21:25:24

I was listening to a local car talk show with an oil chemist guest. He was talking "old school motors" with flat tappets etc. and their need for zinc. He mentioned Rotella specifically and said Valvoline Blue line has 1200ppm zinc. Just an FYI from an authoritative source.

That is an excellent question... no, they were talking cars, not bikes. It would be good to check out the blend. I might be able to find his business (it's local) and drop him an email and ask. THAT is why you make the BIG money! ;)
