Why do I need break-in oil?

Modern motor oils have reduced the amount of zinc and other additives that protect cams and lifters during the initial break-in period. This break-in oil contains those additives to protect your engine during this critical time. Using this oil can help extend the life of your camshaft and valve train components.

Can I mix this with other oils?

Yes, COMP Cams Engine Break-In Oil is compatible with any petroleum, synthetic, or blended motor oil. It is designed to be used as a supplement to your regular motor oil during the break-in period. Once the break-in period is complete, you can switch back to your regular motor oil.

What is ZDDP and why is it important?

ZDDP stands for Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate. It's an anti-wear additive that's been used in motor oils for many years. It's especially important for engines with flat tappet camshafts, as it provides a protective layer between the cam lobes and lifters. This helps to prevent premature wear and failure.
