360 dirt track engine. oil changed after each session. flat tappet cam broken in. should I use high zinc/breakin oil? With FT cam failures I want to be proactive if I can. thank you for your time. RR
Then reuse it in your boat or old truck.Use penn grade or driven. It’s not that costly on Summit
Or Valvoline VR1, Amsoil, Redline, Mobil1 15W-50. There are several available with lots of ZDDP to protect flat tappet cams. You just might have to put a little more effort into finding them as they might not always be found at parts stores or big boxes.Use penn grade or driven. It’s not that costly on Summit

It was always burning since the world's been turning.Ain't that the truth? lol

decades ago an experienced racer told me that he changed his oil (& filter iirc) after each Saturday night session & at the time I had just accepted it as gospel thinking how toxic that a dirt track environment must be. it certainly does sound excessive & later someone else has said they changed the oil every time but only the filter after several races. I am open to thoughts/suggestions. RRWhat do you mean by "oil is changed after each session"?
