The friction between the two components can eventually wear down the cam and affect valve operation, ultimately resulting in lost engine power and reduced efficiency. In addition, these areas are splash-lubricated rather than pressure-lubricated like other areas of the engine, which adds extra strain on anti-wear additives such as the zinc and phosphorus in zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP).<\/p>\n<p>AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with high levels of ZDDP to protect flat-tappet cams, lifters, rockers and other areas susceptible to wear. Its high-zinc, high-phosphorus formulation provides the extra wear protection these critical splash-lubricated components require.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Provides Long-Term Rust &amp; Corrosion Protection<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with a unique blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors to ensure maximum protection during long-term storage. To prove its effectiveness, AMSOIL submitted Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil to the Standard Test Method for Rust Protection by Metal Preservatives in the Humidity Cabinet (ASTM D1748-10). This test evaluates the rust-preventive properties of oil under high-humidity conditions, similar to those faced by a covered hot rod in a damp garage. The metal coupon treated with AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil showed no signs of rust.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dextrous-lubricant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Capture-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1270\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dextrous-lubricant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Capture-6.jpg 1270w, https:\/\/www.dextrous-lubricant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Capture-6-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dextrous-lubricant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Capture-6-1024x495.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dextrous-lubricant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Capture-6-768x371.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dextrous-lubricant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Capture-6-600x290.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1270px) 100vw, 1270px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">APPLICATIONS<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil in engines that require either 10W-40 motor oil and an API SL or earlier specification.
