omega_rugal Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 got a good offer for 5 quaters of bardhal fus1on, it still a few more months for an oil change but i`ll be ready, this oil is supposed to have the bardhal 1 aditive already, but is it really good? does it really have the zinc content that protects from wear?
Crash Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Never heard of or used it. Amsoil AMO has zddp in it. And Valvoline VR1 does as well.
Jeep Driver Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 You can read Amsoil's take on the matter here- https://www.amsoil.com/newsstand/classic-and-vintage/articles/reduced-zddp-and-wear-protection/ Before anyone starts throwing $90 oil changes at a ragged out 200K engine, thinking that they will suddenly achieve high zinc 'protection'..........ain't gonna matter one bit. On a new engine? Sure. My opinion.
FrankTheDog Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I run regular 10-30 castrol oil in all my 4.0's no matter what the mileage. I just put a 275k 96 engine into my daughters boyfriends 98 XJ this weekend. Hooked it all up and turned the key and it started like I just turned it off. It had been sitting for 4 years. Repowered another XJ this past winter with an engine that had been sitting severl years. Cranked that one over several times with out the coil wire then fired it right up. Don't waste your money on expensive oil.
FrankTheDog Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Oh, and my highest mileage original nileage engine still running has 450k on it. Never been opened up since new.
omega_rugal Posted June 12, 2017 Author Posted June 12, 2017 the MJ has 170k on the odometer, but it was rebuilt at some point, runnin strong i got these cans cheap, its regular price is like twice as much, i have always used high mileage quaker state products
Ataki Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I use Rotella with good results, It has a very high ZDDP content. This thread has TONS of info. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/rotella-worlds-first-ever-combined-hair-oil-foot-ointment-salad-dressing-188168/ An Excerpt:
omega_rugal Posted June 12, 2017 Author Posted June 12, 2017 Rotella is not sold here, but mobil and valvoline are... wait, that supertech brand is actually good? i though they were cheap rebranded walmart garbage
Ataki Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Rotella is not sold here, but mobil and valvoline are... wait, that supertech brand is actually good? i though they were cheap rebranded walmart garbage Apparently WalMart re-brands it, but from what I've read, It's pretty decent. (for oils at that cost)
