Oil Additives
Turbo Mini Forums

I read many people saying they recommend the use of ZDDP/ZEP additives, anybody on here use them? Any opinions?
Looking at Torco ZEP and Redline ZDDP, but dont know which is best or if theyre even worth adding?

I use zddp plus. Not sure if its any good yet though. Wore a lobe off my mpi cam without additives...

coma sonic 20/50 oil has 1500 ppm of zddp added as standard, dont know about millers CVT or other oils ect...? mabe somone could shed some light on them

if you are a true petrol head its a must!

Millers does have zddp,

13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!

CTV is 1500ppm zddp I believe. Comma Sonic is 2000ppm! However sonic is only mineral.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

More a read about CTV more I'm going to use it, engines apart at the moment for a refresher, so may do a bit of running on supermarket 20w50 then switch to CTV

CTV is good stuff,

from what I have read you can have too much zddp, 2000-2500ppm is apparently about as high as you want to go, so getting an aditive and chucking loads in would be counter productive.

Ive not used the Comma stuff so cant comment, but the CTV is darn good, you can feel the difference in the gearchange between this and other oils, plus its a syntetic so will be ok with turbocharger temps.

my engines not forced induction, like i said its stripped now and checked all the bearings etc, and its still like brand new from when it was built, we apart from the box
