Can you PM me a quote on how much oil I need to break the motor in and then a case of the good stuff going forward. GA's spring, summers and fall are usually over 70+....in the height of summer they are 90+. Winters are typically 50's......sometimes as low as 20 (very rare). I run E85 99.9% of the time although I do have pump gas "limp home" map.

Dan the RD 15W50 has very small amounts of detergents and should not be let sitting or ran for long periods, matter fact its safe to drain any race oil soon 2-3 months or 3k,,, if you are dumping the oil fast then you dont care
the Z rod oils will have all the racing oils has plus all the detergents and dispersants for a car that drives on the road

should i still change to the new Z rod line of oil? i will still drain it as often because i have serious brain issues. lol i just would like what is better and better protection for the motor.

If you dont ming spending extra $ then dominator 15W50 is still good for you specially with your car set up, if you want to save some cash then i would go to the AMO 10W40, these both are high zinc and phos oil well over 1200 PPM on both zinc and phos

I don't understand why you wouldn't share the ZDDP values....
Manufacturers usually give those out and there is also an abundance of information from testing labs like blackstone that people post over at bobistheoilguy.com.
It shouldn't be a secret and frankly if the values are higher than the competition, why wouldn't you want to share them?
