I've never heard of a cam & lifter issues with Gibbs ether  I'd use at least one qt. of Penn mixed with whatever oil your using with a stock motor ('engine'):Patrick  Heavy springs? use all Brad Penn!!!!!! even at $7 a Qt. it's cheap insurance compared to a cam & lifter replacement |

Which Brad Penn are you all using? Partial synthetic or non-synthetic?

as Clinton said, some oil is better than no oil. I just don't want to take any chances. I also use the EOS as assembly lube. |

I use the non SM quaker state 30wt for older passenger cars. The blue bottle says right on it that it has zinc in it. Forgive my lack of knowlage but why wont it last?
