Comments about Lucas Oil Products TB Zinc-Plus Engine Break-In Oil Additive (16 oz.):
great and a must for todays oils without the zinc. since 1990' they have been reducing zinc and phosphorus in engines due to the newer engines with roller cams that do not require them so if you have a engine with a flat tappet camshaft do yourself a favor and extend the life of your engine with some of this stuff it will save your camshafts life

Comments about Lucas Oil Products TB Zinc-Plus Engine Break-In Oil Additive (16 oz.):
Been using this in my stock 69 302 DZ since the day I bought it. After 87k miles I decided on a complete engine rebuild due to valve guides. Upon disassembly my shop was quite surprised to see that my stock 30 - 30 cam was still in EXCELLENT condition. We put the "old" cam back in and after 5000 miles on the rebuild everything is OK. Just the sweet rattle of a solid cam !!!
Pros

- Saves flat tappet cams

Comments about Lucas Oil Products TB Zinc-Plus Engine Break-In Oil Additive (16 oz.):
adds zinc necessary to prevent wiped cam lobes / lifters in engines using flat tappet cams. A little pricey but no failures to date using this and valvoline VR-1 racing oil.

Q:
I read this additive is for race applications, and not for street use. What happens when his Lucas zinc additive is being used in an old street car of 1970. Can it harm the engine? I know some guys using this additive in oldtimers with normal engines, small blocks and not for racing.Asked on 5/19/2015 by Ron1 answer

Q:
How much TB-Zinc-Plus should be added to one quart of oil (without ZDDP) for topping off when engine is a quart low but not ready for an oil change? It is a 468 BBC with about 3000 miles on engine. For street use.Asked on 3/19/2015 by Ernie from Clio, Michigan1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
I'm happy to help, Ernie! The amount of Lucas Oil Products TB Zinc-Plus Engine Break-In Oil Additive (Part No. 10063) that you add will depend on the oil capacity of the engine and your preferred mix ratio. A chart with the mix ratios is available here: http://lucasoil.com/images/documents/Zinc_Values_MotorcycleOil.pdf.
This product is designed for race applications requiring additional extreme-pressure additives. It is not designed for passenger car use. Now that your engine is broken in, switching to a high quality synthetic motor oil with a high quality filter will provide you with excellent wear protection, increased efficiency and could also extend your oil change interval.

Lucas Oil Products TB Zinc-Plus Engine Break-In Oil Additive is designed for race applications requiring additional extreme-pressure additives and is not designed for passenger car use. If you do not have any oil leaks in your 1987 Buick Grand National Turbo, I suggest using a high mileage synthetic motor oil which can provide additional protection to your high mileage engine.
