Regular motor oil – even diesel engine oil – no longer contains enough ZDDP (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate) to protect race engine valvetrains against friction and wear. Most racing vehicles have larger camshafts with increased valve spring pressures that enable higher rpms. If the camshaft and lifters aren’t properly protected against friction, they will get damaged, leading to lost horsepower and even breakage.
Rislone Hy-per Lube Zinc ZDDP Supplement is a petroleum oil performance “booster” that combines ZDDP, phosphorous extreme pressure agents and mixed esters to enhance standard motor oil and turn it into a high-performance lubricant that protects all valvetrain components, including the rocker arms, pushrod tips and piston skirts in virtually any four-stroke race engine. From single-engine racing lawn mowers to go-karts, junior dragsters to Top Fuel dragsters, stock cars to rally cars, Rislone Hy-per Lube Zinc ZDDP Supplement (p/n 4405) helps stabilize any motor oil against viscosity and thermal breakdown for less wear and a cooler-running, longer-lasting engine.
“Nothing works better than zinc and phosphorous ZDDP for metal-to-metal protection inside the engine,” explains Clay Parks, vice president of development for Rislone. “Rislone Hy-per Lube Zinc ZDDP Supplement uses a proven real ZDDP additive package that’s specially blended with a precise mix of detergents, tackifiers and esters to work together to keep the protective oil from draining off parts when the engine is off. This means the lubricant is effective as soon as the engine starts, rather than being delayed until the oil pressure comes up and starts to move inside the engine, helping to eliminate dry starts.”
Rislone Hy-per Lube Zinc ZDDP Supplement works with all petroleum-based motor oils, including conventional, high-mileage and synthetic formulas to make new oils compatible with high-performance engines. For best protection, it should be added at every oil change, whether that means every pass down the quarter mile, once a race weekend or once a season. For racing applications, add 2 ounces for every quart of capacity. It can also be used to top off oil as needed.
Like all Rislone products, Rislone Hy-per Lube Zinc ZDDP Supplement is made in the U.S.A. It is available in 11 oz. bottles with an integrated spout for easy installation.
