No clarification from me Ron. I'm just as confused as everyone else seems to
be and just as anxious for an answer. And I don't mean to add to the
confusion, but I spoke with a machinist at a recent car show and we discussed
this issue. When I mentioned diesel oil he strongly advised against using it
in gasoline engines (something about how diesel oils clean the engine). So,
I'm thinking of changing to the Valvoline VR-1 non-street legal variety oil
and adding the GM EOS though I read conflicting opinions here as to how much
to add (4 oz or a pint).

Subject: Valve jobs, and oil
Can I get some clarification: I read the earlier posting and I replaced my
break-in oil (after the first 700 miles) with Chevron Delo 400 which is
API
CI-4 PLUS rated. Am I correct in my understanding that this diesel oil
should
have enough ZDDP to protect my new valve tappets?? Do I still need to add
the
GM EOS product to this oil??
