I don't believe ZDDP is just for break in, rather the lack of it at break in
hastens the damage that occurs to flat tappet cams on engines run without it.
I use Valvoline 20W50 VR1 racing oil, the kind they sell at all the major
parts stores and it has ZDDP in it.

Subject: [Fot] ZDDP break in time
Hi All,
How long do you have to run oil with ZDDP in our engines when they are newly
rebuilt??? I have 500 miles on a new motor and ready to do the first oil
change. Should I put oil with ZDDP back in? If so does anyone know of a brand
that sells 10W40 or 5W30 oil with ZDDP? All I can find is strait 50W or
20W50.
Way to heavy for street car.
Thanks
Andy
