Product
Description |
 |
AMSOIL Z-ROD™ Synthetic Motor Oil is specially engineered
for classic and high-performance vehicles. It features a
high-zinc formulation to prevent wear on flat-tappet
camshafts and other critical engine components, along with a
proprietary blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors for added
protection during long-term storage. Z-ROD Synthetic Motor
Oil is designed to perform on the street and protect during
storage.

Protects Flat-Tappet Cams |
|
The lifters and cam lobes on flat-tappet camshafts common to
classic and high performance vehicles slide rapidly against one
another, producing high friction and heat. The friction between the
two components can eventually wear down the cam and affect valve
operation, ultimately resulting in lost engine power and reduced
efficiency. In addition, these areas are splash-lubricated rather
than pressure lubricated like other areas of the engine, which adds
extra strain on anti-wear additives like the zinc and phosphorus in
zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP).
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with high levels
of ZDDP to protect flat-tappet cams, lifters, rockers and other
areas susceptible to wear. Its high-zinc, high-phosphorus
formulation provides the extra wear protection these critical
splash-lubricated components require.

Provides
Long-Term Protection from Rust & Corrosion |
|
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with a unique blend
of rust and corrosion inhibitors to ensure maximum protection during
long-term storage. To prove its effectiveness, AMSOIL submitted
Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil to the Standard Test Method for Rust
Protection in the Humidity Cabinet (ASTM D-1748). This test
evaluates the rust-preventative properties of oil under
high-humidity conditions, similar to those faced by a covered hot
rod in a damp garage. The metal coupon treated with AMSOIL Z-ROD
Synthetic Motor Oil showed no signs of oxidation after 192 hours,
while the coupon treated with a leading competitor’s product failed
the test after 24 hours.

Applications |
|
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for older or
modified engines requiring either 10W-30 or 20W-50 motor oil. Z-ROD
Synthetic Motor Oil meets API SL and earlier specifications,
allowing for increased levels of anti-wear additives. ZDDP levels in
Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil exceed the limits of API SM and newer
specifications. |

|
Compatibility |
|
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oils are compatible with conventional
and other synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor
Oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil’s life
expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. Aftermarket oil
additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic
Motor Oils. |

Service Life |
|
Because classic cars, hot rods and other performance vehicles are
generally modified by their owners, AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil
is recommended for a maximum drain interval of 5,000 miles or one
year, whichever comes first. Heavily modified vehicles (forced
induction, nitrous) should not exceed 3,000 miles or one year
between oil changes, whichever comes first.
