Hi guys,
I have an old 1976 KZ900 , and I've been reading a lot about oil lately. One thing that bothers me is that a lot of the oil companies have reduced the zinc and phosphorous in their oils which supposedly isn't good for the old bikes cams etc.
I've been reading up on Chevron Delo 400 LE (15w-40) , and from their website it says that the CJ-4 version still has Phosphorus at .12 and zinc at .13 , which seems to be good amounts for what I need.
My question is, am I on the right track here? Does anyone have any other reccomendations or comments about the Delo for my bike?
I was using Rotella 15w-40 but they reduced their amounts of zinc and phosphorous in 2007 so I've changed to the Delo.
Thank you.
Any help would be appreciated.
