Opinions of this oils specificfications..

[LargeCarMan]

What are your thoughts....and just list the pro's and con's of the specifications only and comment on the Non-Detergent break in theory. I am having a debate on Non-Detergent oils as a break in oil in a newly rebuilt engine. Old school? Ok, or....PoooPooo? http://www.castrol.com/liveassets/bp_int.../0-999/1018.PDF

Old school. My randfather used to do it, rest his sole, in his racecars.. but those were flathead fords and they didn't know any better. I don't see how a detergent dispersant package is gfgoing to impeded break in. Leave the SA rated oils for squeeky door hinges and put a quality oil in from the start.

Has anyone looked at the spec sheet? What are your opinions on the specs and is it nessessary to have a detergent package for break in? The oil might be in the engine for 30 minutes.

some old ND oils are only a base oil and PPD or a AO some like SA have NO Zinc and SB may have a little but can you say wiped out cam lobe???? stay away from Old style lube use at least a SL grade for brake in. bruce
