Fast Action Engine Break-In Oil (SAE 30) With Zinc

The break-In Oil that works FAST! (SAE 30)

Works in place of any 10W-30 or 5W-30 break in oil.

The Break In Oil was initially designed for the demands of the AMSOIL Engine Masters Challenge (EMC) presented by HOT ROD so now Sioux Falls shops and engine rebuilders can enjoy the same proper break-in these crucial engines deserve. It’s an asset when you know it’s done right.

Formulated without friction modifiers to allow for quick and efficient piston ring seating in new and rebuilt high-performance and racing engines. Contains zinc and phosphorus anti-wear additives to protect cam lobes, lifters and rockers during the critical break-in period when wear rates are highest.

Designed for High-Performance and Racing Engines

AMSOIL Break-In Oil is an SAE 30 viscosity grade oil formulated without friction modifiers to allow for quick and efficient piston ring seating. It contains zinc and phosphorus anti-wear additives to protect cam lobes, lifters and rockers during the critical break-in period when wear rates are highest. Increased film strength protects rod and main bearings from damage. AMSOIL Break-In Oil is designed to increase compression, horsepower and torque for max engine performance!

Quickly Seats Rings for Better Results

The primary goal during engine break-in is to seat the rings against the cylinder wall. Properly seated rings increase compression, resulting in maximum horsepower; they reduce oil consumption and prevent hot combustion gases from entering the crankcase. To achieve this, however, the oil must allow the correct level of controlled wear to occur between the cylinder wall/ring interface while maintaining wear protection on other critical engine parts. Insufficient break-in leaves behind peaks on the cylinder wall that prevent the rings from seating. The deeper valleys, meanwhile, allow excess oil to collect and burn during combustion, increasing oil consumption. Too much wear results in cylinder glazing due to peaks ?rolling over? into the valleys and preventing oil from collecting and adequately lubricating the cylinder wall.

AMSOIL Break-In Oil’s friction-modifier-free formula allows the sharp peaks on newly honed cylinder walls (fig. 1) to partially flatten. The result produces more surface area for rings to seat against, allowing formation of a dynamic seal that increases compression, horsepower and torque (fig. 2).

 

Protects Critical Parts from Wear

New flat-tappet camshafts and lifters are not seasoned or broken in and must be heat-cycled to achieve proper hardness. During the break-in period, these components are susceptible to accelerated wear because they are in the splash-lubricated area. AMSOIL Break-In Oil contains high levels of zinc and phosphorus (ZDDP) designed to provide the anti-wear protection required during this critical period.

Increased Film Strength

High-performance and racing engines often use aftermarket parts designed to increase torque and horsepower. The added stress can rupture the oil film responsible for preventing harmful metal-to-metal contact on rod and main bearings. The base oils in AMSOIL Break-In Oil provide increased film strength to protect bearings from wear.

APPLICATIONS

AMSOIL Break-In Oil is designed to effectively break in high-performance and racing engines requiring SAE 30 oil, helping maximize compression, horsepower and torque.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The engine builder’s or manufacturer’s break-in recommendations should be followed if available. Break-in period should not exceed 1,000 miles. When the engine is new, the exhaust ports will have a large area of oil residue (Fig. 3). As the rings begin to seat, less oil is passed and the oil residue area begins to shrink (Fig. 4). When the rings are fully seated and have formed a tight seal against the cylinder walls, no oil residue will be evident. Other common methods to determine if rings have seated include performing a leak-down test or horsepower measurements over time. Break-in duration will vary between engines.

Afterwards, drain and fill the engine with an AMSOIL high-performance synthetic oil that meets builder or manufacturer specifications. We suggest either the Dominator racing series, ZROD (Classic car high zinc oils) or any of the Signature Series for best results.

Break In Oil Customer Reviews

100% happy

By ACEY, a Verified Buyer on June 04, 2024

So i went with the break in oil and i was not disappointed. the oil filter combo went the distance of the break in. for my Equinox this was 500 miles. zero metal flakes after the first change. the oil still had a nice red color and everything is sealed up and broke in so smooth. they got me to total seal compression. i am 100% happy as this is my first use of a complete Amsoil from New Engine day 1. i will not ever use another product again. Amsoil has a new life long customer!!!! keep it up. i am one of many who understands Amsoil is the way to Go now.

 

The best break in oil period

By ALEX, a Verified Buyer from Maryland  on April 19, 2024

Only break in oil i will use in future builds rings set perfectly compression is on point Highly recommend!
