I have found out recently Esso XD3 0-40w full synthetic, 100% PAO base, has lots of zinc and good stuff in it , and it is at Walmart to boot, $22.00 for 4 litres.. Guys doing oil tests have over 1700 ppm zinc in it. This will work in a pinch too

That # is a cell phone #.

Post by: Billyisgr8 on April 08, 2008, 08:51:17 PM: Here is a quote from my other post on Brad Penn oil from me buying it off of e-bay and getting it shipped to Sicamous including the $86.00 brokerage from UPS.

\"total with brokerage and shipping per bottle is $8.50 ......Cheaper, but not much, than Max Cycle Royal Purple which worked out to $9.33 per bottle from Lordco. \"

It will be intresting to know what this guy in Langley is selling it for.

Hey Kev, No such thing as 100% PAO. The seals would shrink and you'd get a big puddle of oil if that was the case. Seal swell modifiers will be required to combat the natural shrinking characteristics of PAO. I'd say maybe a good dose of PAO in Esso's oil but no where near 100%.

If you can get brad penns oil I'd say use it !!! since alot of guys are testing it with good results theres no reason why not to use it.

I'll be using Ester based synthetic this year by a company called Blu Lubricants. My friend developed his own line of boutique oil company. I wont preach how good it is because all I know is that its high quality ester that is slippery :D I know my becker tool steel lifters careless what oill is used. Maybe I'll even use recycled semi synthetic oil from Lordco autoparts LOL!!!
