Oil additives for your Honda 600

Post by friend »

Tech Info;  Some parts of this come from an article in Hemmings Motor News:
    ZDDP (Zinc Dialkyl Dithio Phosphate:
Ainc and Phosphorus) in the newer motor oils.  These motor oils are API rated SM.  A recent check at the local Wall-Mart, which seems to carry more brands of oil than your average parts store, showed that most, if not all, popular brands are now rated SM.  This even applies to 15W-40 Diesel oils, as diesels are now using converters too.  This ZDDP additive has been used for many years to control wear on lifters and cam lobes (Honda 600 OHC) in flat tappet engines.  One bad side effect is that sooner, or later, it does contaminate the catalytic converter. (Honda 600's don't have them)  The EPA's mandate that converter life be extended from 100,000 miles to 120,00 miles or more has caused car manufacturers to remove most of the ZDDP additive.
This is not a problem for engines with roller cams, but it's a problem for some flat tappet engines, particularly at break-in.  After a proper break-in has occurred, the need for ZDDP is reduced considerably.   To find out more go to http://www.zddplus.com/    SL oils have ZDDP, most SM oils don't.
Happy New year, keep them Honda 600's on the road.
