REV-X ZDDP – Zinc Oil Additive – 2 fl. oz.
REV-X ZINC Oil Additive is essential for new engines with flat tappet cams and lifters. It ensures proper break-in and long-lasting performance. When heated, ZINC (ZDDP) forms a protective anti-wear layer on cams, lifters, and crankshafts. This prevents metal-to-metal contact and extends component life.
You can also use ZINC in any vehicle from the 1980s or older that relies on ZDDP in its engine oil. Mix two fl. oz. of ZINC with six quarts of oil to reach 3200 ppm, ideal for new engine break-in. For engines already broke-in, add one fl. oz. to achieve 1500–1800 ppm. This provides extra protection and prolongs engine life.

Description
Benefits of REV X ZINC Oil Additive
- Forms a protective anti-wear layer at friction points to stop metal-to-metal contact and prevent engine wear.
- Ideal for new engine break-ins, giving extra protection to camshafts and lifters.
- Essential for all flat tappet engines to ensure long-lasting performance.
- Compatible with both synthetic and conventional oils for versatile use.
- Mix two fl. oz. with six quarts of oil to achieve 3000–3200 ppm for maximum protection.
- Shields high-load components from excessive wear and costly failures.
- Recommended at every oil change for ongoing engine protection and longevity.
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 tappets’ 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.
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
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.
