Product Applications
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for older or modified engines requiring either 10W-30 or 20W-50 motor oil. Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil meets API SL and earlier specifications, allowing for increased levels of anti-wear additives. ZDDP levels in Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil exceed the limits of API SM and newer specifications.

Product Description
AMSOIL Z-ROD™ Synthetic Motor Oil is specially engineered for classic and high-performance vehicles. It features a high-zinc formulation to prevent wear on flat-tappet camshafts and other critical engine components, along with a proprietary blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors for added protection during long-term storage. Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to perform on the street and protect during storage.

AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API-qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL, the First in Synthetics®, to do the best job protecting your engine.

Protects Flat-Tappet Cams
The lifters and cam lobes on flat-tappet camshafts common to classic and high performance vehicles slide rapidly against one another, producing high friction and heat. 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 like the zinc and phosphorus in zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP).

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.

Provides Long-Term Protection from Rust & Corrosion
AMSOIL 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 in the Humidity Cabinet (ASTM D-1748). This test evaluates the rust-preventative 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 oxidation after 192 hours, while the coupon treated with a leading competitor’s product failed the test after 24 hours.

COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oils are compatible with conventional and other synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil’s life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oils.

SERVICE LIFE
Because engines in classic cars, hot rods and other performance vehicles are generally modified, a universal oil drain interval recommendation for these applications cannot be given. Responsibility for determining the drain interval duration rests with the owner. As a general service guideline, the maximum drain interval for Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil should not exceed 5,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. In heavily modified engines (e.g. forced induction, nitrous) the maximum drain interval should not exceed 3,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.

HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used for the intended application and according to the recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

I TRUST Amsoil products!

have used Amsoil products for last 20 years in cars, trucks, motorcycles and boats.
I have used the top tier Signature Blend several times for the 25K Mile/1 year change interval and have not experienced any problem with wear or failure OR any excessive use during these change intervals.
I see no reason to use any other fully synthetic product in my vehicles, with having the preferred membership prices available, and the cost of anything else is higher for not as good of product!

Great product

I have two older cars with flat tappet equipped engines. the Z-Rod oil is perfect for this application. Plus being a full synthetic oil, I know my engines are getting the best lubrication and protection available. As an aside, I also use Amsoil in my newer cars, not Z-Rod though!

First time use

This is the first time using Z-Rod motor oil in my restomod 69 GTO prior to being stored for the winter. So far, looks like a good product, but need time to see how it performs over the next year.

I don't drive my Kaiser much, but using Amsoil Zrod oil I only need to change my oil once a year. This oil protects my flat tappet cam.

I would and have purchased this item in the past.

The oil itself appears to be living up to its standards from what I have observed. I have used it in my two GTO's and the purpose for purchasing it was due to the storage during the winter months. By using the synthetic oil I do see my 1966 GTO running somewhat cooler when running on the highway. So far I am completely satisfied with the change over to the Z-Rod Oil

Z-ROD oil

I switched to ZROD oil for my vintage gto mainly for the zinc/phosphorus content. when I did I changed from a competitors 10w40 to amsoil 20w50 because of oil usage (believed to be valve seal related) and oil consumption decreased significantly.

I would not buy this product again

They say it's designed for older engines but it's not. Once your engine is at operating temperature the oil pressure drops below 10psi at idle because the oil is just too thin.

Z-ROD 20w-50

This oil has lots of ZDDP. To protect my Cam and lifters. The 20W-50 I like because l run it in my air cooled engine. Even on a hot day with the Engine at temp of 280' I still have 30# of oil pressure. I also run Amsoil gear lube in the transaxle. I'm sold Amsoil products.

Longtime Amsoil User

I've driven VW Super Beetles for the last 35 years, and once the engines are broken in I've always switched over to Amsoil. And considering that I lived in the Southwest all of that time and 1st generation VW's are only cooled by Air and Oil; it made Amsoil a must. With it's ability to keep engine temps much lower and wear and tear down to a minimum it's been an easy decision.
