Zinc stearate to lubricate under heat and load. Serves the same
purpose as class IV synthetic, except that when it burns in the
cylinder it makes zinc oxide, a fairly nice polishing compound to
remove the crosshatching and round off the valve seats.

There are, but over the years, I've had so little trust in fixes that come
in a bottle, I've always been more comfortable going with the product
itself, being formulated to my needed requirements. Same with gas, I always
pay for the good stuff from a well known supplier, instead of risking
cheaper
Thanks Ernest, the chart is very helpful! The SG does seem to have the
numbers in all the right places. A couple of people have also mentioned oil
from the Harley dealer is good, but I haven't seen any of their numbers. I
can put a bit of extra faith in what they're doing for BMW oil though,

Aren't there additives like marvel mystery oil that boost zinc, regrow hair,

Ed,
this has been a topic in the BMW Motorcycle community for some

I have to check my notes, but my real concern is my old 911. If memory
serves me, and it doesn't serve me very well at times, hee hee, 1200-1400

Vtwin stuff, which I plan to do more reading up on. I've read, having

Thanks John. You don't have any numbers for it, do you? I want enough zinc
in it, not only to cover the old requirements, of both the 300, but also an
old 911 air cooled engine. I like the numbers higher too than the
recommended levels. High enough, that at oil change time, when some of the
