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.

Q & A
REV X ZDDP - Zinc Oil Treatment - 2 fl. oz.
Calculating ZDDP Additive for Your Application
To determine the approximate amount of ZDDP additive needed for your application, let's break down the process:
- Initial Concentration: One bottle of our ZDDP additive treats one quart of oil with approximately 18,000 parts per million (ppm).
- Dilution for Eight Quarts: When treating eight quarts of oil, the concentration will be diluted. To find the new concentration, divide the initial concentration by the number of quarts:
- 18,000 ppm / 8 quarts = 2,250 ppm
- Required Additional Concentration: You require an additional 720 ppm of ZDDP in your oil.
- Percentage to Add: To determine the percentage of the initial concentration that needs to be added, divide the required additional concentration by the initial concentration after dilution:
- (720 ppm / 2,250 ppm) x 100% = 32%
- The volume of Additive:
- Calculate 32% of 2 fluid ounces (fl oz) to find the volume of additive needed:
- 0.32 x 2 fl oz = 0.64 fl oz
- This is approximately equivalent to 19 milliliters (ml).
- Calculate 32% of 2 fluid ounces (fl oz) to find the volume of additive needed:
In summary: To achieve the desired ZDDP concentration in your eight quarts of oil, add approximately 0.64 fl oz (19 ml) of the additive.
Formula:
- Final Concentration (ppm) = Initial Concentration (ppm) / Volume of Oil (quarts)
- Percentage to Add = (Required Additional Concentration (ppm) / Final Concentration (ppm)) x 100%
- Volume of Additive (fl oz) = Percentage to Add x Initial Volume of Additive (fl oz)
TL;DR - 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon will work for what you are looking to accomplish.
