- #TechTuesday Why is it important to have a fully formulated break-in oil?
David Chamberlain from Driven explains the difference between using a zinc additive and purpose built break-in oil.
Back in the day we use to break in all our engines with NON Detergent 30w and a bottle of comp cams ZDDP additive. Being able to just buy a break in oil is a lot better than worrying about having the right amount of ZDDP
Absolutely. Nothing compares to having a purpose-built formula specifically for engine run-in. A fully formulated Engine Break-In oil is a better way to go; adding in a zinc additive to a separate engine oil without knowing if it is compatible is sort of like playing chemistry-Russian-roulette, you just don't know if the two are compatible together.
Already looking forward to part 2, thanks!
This was an excellent dissertation.
I used AMS oil break in worked great !
I wanted this video a month ago 😂👍
What are the auto manufacturers using in their engines that is different then us home rebuilders?
Absolutely nothing...never have. "Break-in" oils are a marketing gimmick and always will be.
It might be a good idea to introduce yourself which you did and your educational background along with what college you went to. Do you have a degree in chemistry or as a chemical engineer. The trouble with the internet and UA-cam is the fact that there are many on them that went to a pep-talk session about a product and have a good memory.
Do you guys make motorcycle wet clutch oils? What type of oil for plated AL cylinders?
What oil do I need for my HEMI 5.7 2007 for break-in ?
thicker or thinner oil for break in? simple answer please
Could one just run br40 all the time? I’ve got some rings that wherent set right to begin with... now going to try br40
So what break in oil do you suggest? I've always used br30 but gp1 I've never heard of
Which Driven break in oil do you recommend for a performance SBC with a solid flat tappet cam?
BR40 is a good choice if you don't know your bearing clearances
Why not use synthetic oil for break-in compared to conventional mineral oil, additive packages being similar.
synthetic oil has too much moly and will not let rings seat causing oil burning, you also need camshaft lifter polishing in older engines.
All depends on the honing finish. OEM uses synthetic in many new vehicles with no special previous run-in. New ring coatings (pvd) and thinner rings with proper honing and the break in after a few miles regardless of oil choice. We used to use non-detergent mineral oil in the 70s, totally different ring materials and Lee's the great honing
Brad Penn break in oil pretty good
