REV X ZDDP – Zinc Oil Treatment – 2 fl. oz.
$11.95
REV-X ZINC Oil Additive is necessary for new engines with flat tappet cams/lifters to ensure proper break-in and long life. When ZINC (ZDDP) is heated, an anti-wear layer is created on cams, lifters, and crankshafts, preventing them from contacting other components and shortening their service life.
ZINC may also be used in any vehicle (1980s and older) when engine oils use ZDDP, minimizing lubrication-related failures. When blended with six quarts of oil, two fl. oz. of ZINC will achieve a maximum level of 3200 ppm (Ideal for new engine break-in); for properly running engines seeking additional protection, use one fl. oz. of ZINC (to achieve a 1500-1800 ppm level).

Description
How Does ZINC (ZDDP) Work in Engine Oil?
As REV X ZINC Oil Additive (ZDDP) is heated, it creates a film that coats the engine parts with an anti-wear layer. Think of it as a sacrificial layer that will wear away, preventing the wear on your vital engine parts. As the name suggests, ZINC benefits flat tappet motors with a flat lifter.
When the engine runs, the cam lobe is in constant contact with the tappet’s flat surface. Simultaneously, this creates high temperatures due to the friction between the two. If the protective film produced by the ZDDP were not present, this heat and friction would wear away at the lifters and cam, leading to engine failure.
Benefits of REV X ZINC Oil Additive
- ZDDP creates an anti-wear layer at friction points to prevent metal-to-metal contact and eliminate wear.
- ZDDP is perfect for new engine break-ins, providing extra protection for the new camshaft and lifters.
- It is mandatory for all flat tappet engines.
- ZDDP works in both synthetic and standard mineral-based oils.
- Mixing two fluid ounces of ZDDP with 6 quarts of oil creates a ratio of 3000 – 3200 parts per million (ppm).
- ZDDP protects high-load components from excessive wear and failures.
- ZDDP is recommended for maximum protection during every oil change.
Is this only for Engines?
REV-X ZINC oil additive only adds an anti-wear layer; it is not the best option after a new engine break-in. To reduce friction, lower component temperatures, and clean your entire oil system, you should use either REV X High-Performance Oil Treatment or REV X High-Performance Racing Oil Treatment.
