HI all! I just rebuilt my very first 235! Im unsure of what oil and weight to put in it though... I have heard because of the flat tappet cams, use a high zinc oil and a zinc additive or else my precious engine will self destruct... true? The two mahor oils I have heard are Joe Gibbs, and Valvoline VR1. Suggestions? And what weight should i run? The manual says 10w-30 and change after first 1000 miles, then every 2000 miles. Does this sound right? Glad to hear any and all suggestions and feedback, thanks!
