Hi guys,
I've been reading about this issue of reducing ZDDP numbers in modern oils and the negative effect this has on cam lobes of cars with solid lifters.
I have a Euro E36 M3 Evo (S50B32) which has solid lifters and was wondering what oil would be best for the engine with regards to good amounts of ZDDP and Molybdenum (another additive i've heard is good)?
I have access to all the good stuff from Motul, Redline, Fuchs Racing S, Millers, Gulf Competition and Castrol.
I've read that Redline still has good amounts of ZDDP in all its viscosities so was thinking of trying their 5/10W30 as i've read its a very shear stable so I think the 30weight will hold up to the high revving nature of the engine, give me better acceleration due to being thinner than a 40weight, hopefully dissipate heat better as its thinner and most importantly give me the required amounts of ZDDP to protect my cam lobes
Many thanks
Kash
