Thread: Gm Eos

Tweet

well evey one GM is not making EOS any more. this was used to help with new cam break in .so if you have any you are lucky .all the gm dealer i tried it is all gone.

I will have to build a roller motor next time...

Is there a commercial substitute for EOS ?

So, what is your second choice?

Crane Cams # 99003-1 Break-in lube
CD2's (SLOB) Street Legal Oil Boost.

Because of the ZDDP this is being reformulated,GOOD NEWS! Check out some of your local Big Lots stores they sell close outs,I scored some of the good stuff for $1.99 also picked up some of the STP red and Oil stabilizer.

I ran across this site that will give you the straight truth on oil and additives,www.lnengineering.com/oil.html you will be glad you checked it out the guess work is over!

I would Use Cenpenco Oil for Breakin. It got more Zinc than any other oil that I found. My Next pick on oil with lot of zinc is Brad Penn Racing Oil. www.bradpennracing.com Or www.CenPeCoSales.com

IMO the best alternative is roller cams and synthetic oil!!!! Costs more up front, but sure does work and last better!!!!

Pat...This was disscussed a few weeks ago on another forum. It's not gone and it's being re packaged and sold under the AC Delco label. AC Part # 10-106. See us Ford guys do use some GM products!! Now what does need to be found out is if it's the same exact formula? That is my big question.

Here's a link to the AC Delco site; http://www.acdelco.com/html/pi_vehcare_lub.htm

Use the drop down menu, choose EOS assembly lubricant to get to 10-106. In the description it doesn't give any indication as to the ZNDP (which is the additive that drives the desire for this type material additive), but it does say it isn't intended as a lubricant additive. It could be that it doesn't stay in suspension in it's current formulation.

that is funny you said that... i am doing a 351C for a customer and wanted to get some of the GM EOS for it did get some rotella oil . i build alot more roller engines then flat lifter cam engines... if i had my way that what it would be ...thanks every one

Rotella has also been re formulated with lower zinc content. It used to carry a diesel CI-4 rating. Now has a CJ-4 rating. Try Valvoline VR1 racing oil. 10w-30, 20w-50 and a straight 30w are available. Very good zinc content. Look for the bottles that say "not for street use". Thats the good stuff...LOL.

AutoZone here still has Coastal 15w40 in a CI-4 rating. I buy a gallon every time in town, to stock up. It is in the 1 gallon size. In reading up on the subject Coastal appears to be a fine oil.

if you can't find e.o.s from gm use stp red the whole can and you will be fine.. don't use the blue the zddp pack is alot less in blue then the red...

were i buy from i can get joe gibs oil so i will try it ?
