ZINC (ZDDP) is widely recognized as the primary ingredient to protect flat tappet cams and valve train components in engines with high valve spring pressure and aggressive camshaft profiles. ZINC is also the essential protective additive required to safeguard older vintage engines, which were produced when ZINC was the main additive used to provide the ultimate defense against catastrophic failure.
The proper amount of ZINC must be used in relation to the engine oil to achieve the ideal level of protection. ZINC provides the appropriate amount of the ZDDP additive to treat six quarts of engine oil, ensuring the optimal ratio of 3000-3200 ppm for proper engine break-in and safeguarding of high-pressure valve train components. Blended with a light base mineral oil, ZINC aids in the quick and complete dispersion into any engine oil for rapid activation and protection during the first startup.
To ensure maximum protection, ZINC must be reapplied to the engine oil when the oil and filter are changed. The concentrated formula of REV-X ZDDP ZINC Oil Additive and Treatment can treat up to 6 quarts of any oil type. It also works exceptionally well in manual transmissions, gear boxes, rear ends, and any other type of oil lubricant where ZINC was the primary ingredient to prevent metal-to-metal wear.
When heated, ZINC (ZDDP) creates a film that coats the engine parts with an anti-wear layer, acting as a sacrificial layer that will wear away, preventing wear on vital engine components. This is particularly beneficial for flat tappet motors, where the constant contact between the cam lobe and the flat surface of the tappet generates high temperatures due to friction. Without the protective film created by ZDDP, this heat and friction would lead to the wearing away of the lifters and cam, potentially causing engine failure.
ZDDP is crucial for engine break-in, as this process generates significant heat and wear as engine parts adjust to fit the small areas that machining and manufacturing cannot perfectly align. With ZINC, these areas will be treated with a sacrificial layer, preventing more wear than is necessary to break in the engine.
REV-X ZDDP Oil Treatment can treat up to 6 quarts of oil with a single 2 fl. oz. bottle, providing the preferred ratio of 3000 to 3200 ppm of ZINC, which is the optimal level for older engines with flat tappet camshafts. The ZDDP can be blended with any synthetic, semi-synthetic, or mineral-based oil to offer the ultimate protection for late-model engines, including high-performance race engines.
