Many have deemed it as their preferred choice over other options due to its reliable function and affordability.

Not only do I use this as a break in additive after you've installed a new cam/lifters. I also use this every other oil change to ensure the zinc content remains high in my application. Zinc is a crucial component to ANY flat tappet application and the of the shelf motor oils simply do not have enough in it anymore to protect your mating surfaces as newer vehicles dont require it. Protect your investment with a cheap bottle of zinc additive your mating surfaces will thank you.

New oils do not protect flat tappet cams. This product is what you need to break in a flat tappet cam without damage. It's cheap insurance for me.
