Higher zinc levels also in this oil, which is good as well.
Evans said that zinc is key to prolonging cams, rockers, bearings, etc in a performance engine

[QUOTE=0piston,Jul 23 2009, 12:18 PM] Brad Penn is a partial synthetic, blended with PAO and high quality crude.. the idea is supposedly you get the best out of both worlds. This is also a very good oil http://www.conklin.com/catalog/prod_info.asp?prfID=748 I have read somewhere where after race engine teardowns, the compnents still looked intact and that some have switched over to Conklin because of some Brad Penn failures. Depending on oil pressures it maybe a bit thick for our honda engines.

Is anyone using Amsoil ? That is what I put in my car this last time around. I agree with what AndyFloyd said I'm going to change my oil like every 3000 miles so I wasn't concerned with longevity but I figured if Amsoil GUARANTEES there stuff for 25,000 miles it should be good in my car for 3k.

I could only find it from online distributors. I got mine from an ebay company that sells it in 12qt cases. they can also split the case in half if you only need 6qts. It was 56 bucks for a 12qt case....thats not that bad at all. I feel this oil is going to do really well in our engines, the people that use it are making big power and having great results with it.
