Hello everyone,
This is the first time I've posted here once again in like 2-3 years. Back then, diesel oils like rotella and dello were still popular for all types of high performance MX engines in terms of total base numbers and zinc levels. With that said, I am building the following quad and was wondering if these oils still hold true or if there is a better suggestion.
2009 Suzuki Z400 with EFI
-13.5:1 +5.5mm big bore 2 ring piton (LTZ450)
-old style stage 2 hotcams
-full ported head
-CT sonic full exhaust
-will be using 100LL as an alternative to race race fuel
My concerns are needing an oil that works well with leaded fuel and iron sleeves. The big bore kit unfortunately uses an iron sleeve and has a higher wear rate as compared to the stock nikasil lined cylinder. Being this is a 2 ring piston as compared to the typical 3 ring piston, I would like an oil that is very shear resistant and will protect the rings and iron sleeve as best as possible. Thanks again for everyone's feedback.
