AMSOIL High Zinc Motor Oil (Z-Rod) FAQs

What does zinc do for performance in motor oils?+
Zinc (ZDDP) anti-wear oil additives are heat-activated, providing a protective layer on metal surfaces and reducing friction and wear particularly in high-friction areas. This protection helps maintain engine performance over time, especially in high-stress areas like camshafts and lifters.
What is 20W-50 oil used for?+
What does ZDDP stand for?+
ZDDP stands for Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphate. It's a common anti-wear additive in motor oils, particularly important for older engines and high-performance applications. AMSOIL High Zinc Motor Oils offer exceptional protection for engines with flat-tappet camshafts, modified crate engines, and supercharged engines.
What engine oils are high in zinc?+
Oils designed for classic cars, racing, or high-performance engines typically have higher zinc content. AMSOIL Z-Rod is specifically formulated with high zinc levels for these applications and is one of the best high zinc motor oils.
