ZDDP and cam break in?

[davidf]

I'll be cranking off the car tonite. I plan on doing the cam break in procedure and then likely change the oil/filter to rule out any tiny shavings. Should I use ZDDP during break in, or just on the oil change, again, thanks.

I would just use it after the first change...

Good deal. Hate wasting ZDDP.:wink:

ummm no! use Zddp all the time espically during breakin' isn't your motor worth the extra $10 for insurance?

I would also definately change the oil and filter.

USE IT FOR BREAK IN, as mentioned its the most crucial time. My builder gave me a bottle just for break in and they've been doing motors for 40 years.

Ok, ok! I did'nt figure 20 minutes without it would hurt.:redface:

You can hurt it bad in a lot less time.

I retract my previous post, after reading up some more on zddpplus it is designed for break in. So yes use it on first startup. Sorry for that..
