    Trader Rating: (13) Brad Penn Oil - FAILED!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Not what I though. Apparently not for flat tappet motors. From the Chevelle site and they have the oil expert there.



    This is one of the most exhaustive threads ever on oil. It was Scott Wheaton that had the oil tested.

    http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128203

    "Well heres what this test done on 7/27/09 from a different lab then i used had for results.

    Look for approx 1200-1300ppm zddp/zinc & phos for stock to mild flat tappet perf perf cams and 1400-1500ppm+ zddp for hotter flat tappet perf cams and the brad penn oil doesn't come close to having proper zddp lvls for safe flat tappet cam protection.

    Zinc-656ppm

    phos-448ppm

    calcium-detergent-626 ppm(thats not near enough for a street motor that should have a minumum of 1800-2kppm calcium)

    i am pretty sure the brad penn oils are a decent oil for roller setups but i would not use it for a street perf motors with a flat tapet cam that will see regualr street & traffic use involving stop & go idle time which is where the zddp protection is an important protective layer in short times of marginal oiling like when at idle with autorans in gear at a stop light with odle low at 550-600rpms lowing oil pressure along with less oil thorwn off the crank too."
