aaaaahhhh. Question: If you buy say, the Redline zddp supplement and add it to the blue jug Rotella, is there a maximum beyond which your clutch will start slipping? If not (and for cost purposes) what is a good point of diminished returns.
Boule, if you are running a stock cam you don't need the booster at all as you are only a couple of hundred ppm off from Amisol from the get go and you don't really need the excess anyway in a stockish engine.
If you jest want to use it on top of T6 to equal Amisol, just use a Pepto Bismol or Nyquil plastic cup full (that is all you need as you are only bumping up a little bit). I used a full shot glass of the stuff to get up to the 2200 ppm break in oil range, which is more than folks use normally for anything.
ZDDP doesn't cause clutch slippage at any rational amounts ever used. ZDDP can be over done, it can cause oil acidification if used above 2400 ppm levels. Furthermore, it has decreasing additional benefits beyond 2400 ppm (more simply circulates endlessly as all exposed metal is already fully coated to the point it simply won't accept any more).
Lastly, huge ZDDP levels never stay around long enough in a motorcycle engine to get used up over time -- we change out at about 5,000 - 8,000 miles even on a yearly oil change basis.
Remember, even Retread says truckers got 10,000 miles out of standard white jug dino Rotella T back in the day when he was driving.
Verslagen, I gots some purty Redline stickers but I won't ever use them -- the granny sickle flies low under the radar until it is time to pass 'em and grin at them. The whole fat old man on the granny sickle requires worn paint, bad clearcoat, the whole 10 year old neglected bike look.
Makes a Ducati rider look right sick when he comes in behind you and gets off his bike at the Dragon Lodge and stops and studies the bike. "
