Edelbrock Performance Lubricants - We make Choosing the Right Lubrication EZ
So you walk into your local parts store and see a wall of engine oils. You see the traditional brands that have been around for years. You see the synthetics. You see the additives. But your standing there scratching your head thinking, “what is the best oil for my engine?”. With Edelbrock Performance lubricants, we take the guesswork out of choosing the right oil for maximum performance and long engine life.
Quick lesson – Zinc dialkyl-dithios-phosphate (also known as ZDDP) is a chemical combination of phosphorus and zinc. Phosphorus seeks out high friction areas inside your motor, and carries the extra lubrication provided by the zinc to these high friction components. ZDDP was essential for proper wear-in of high-friction components, like flat tappet hydraulic camshafts. Well since most, if not all engines produced by new vehicle manufacturers are equipped with roller camshafts, your standard spec oils have been stripped of ZDDP – putting your performance engine at risk. Edelbrock Performance Lubricants puts the ZDDP back into the oil for proper lubrication of high performance engine components. With five products to meet the needs of todays’ hot rodder, Edelbrock makes it easy to select the right oil for your engine.

For Break-in: critical to any new motor, Edelbrock has two products to choose from to ensure you have the right additives essential for proper break-in lubrication.
#1070 – Premium SAE 30 Zinc Enhanced break-in oil (1-qt) (Blue/Red bottle) $7.95/qt
Why choose #1070? Simply pour in the recommded amount for a worry free break-in.
#1074 – High Performance Zinc additive (treats up to 6-qts) $13.95/bottle
Why choose #1074? If you’re stubborn and stuck on a brand, simply pour in one bottle of zinc additive with your conventional oil to put the good stuff back in the oil.
For Classic Performance & Racing: The right oil for your street rod, muscle car, truck/jeep, or racecar, is avaialble in two premium products; a high performance 10w40 and high performance synthetic 10w40.
#1073 – Premium High Performance 10w40 zinc enhanced formula (Blue/Red bottle) $7.95/qt
Why choose #1073? At a slightly lower cost than it’s synthetic sibling, this oil is perfect for the casual hot rodder who will hit the road for 5,000 mile or less in a year.
#1072 – High Performance Synthetic 10w40 zinc enhanced formula (Yellow/Red bottle) $9.95/qt
Why choose #1072? You can call it overkill, but the biggest advantage is service change intervals (7,500 miles +). The synthetic base stock is designed with high heat thermal resistance for long life and maximum anti-wear protection.
For Modern Performance Vehicles: Got a late model performance vehicle? Whether it’s a modern Muscle car like the Chevrolet Camaro or a high performance Import like the Nissan 370Z, Edelbrock 5w30 Cat-Safe formula is a great choice.
#1071 – High Performance Synthetic with Cat-Safe formula (Green/Red bottle) $8.95/qt
Why choose #1071? This high performance Cat-Safe synthetic is engineered for today’s high performance vehicles. It protects your engine and your vehicles catalyst and oxygen sensors, ensuring the vehicle’s emissions and on-board diagnostics are not compromised by phosphorus additives.

Holden Commodore SS-V, The Walkinshaw Series II Supercar
An Edelbrock supercharged engine transforms the radical Walkinshaw Series II Supercar that celebrates the 23rd anniversary of Tom Walkinshaw’s involvement in modified Holdens.
Walkinshaw Performance has unleashed a radical 460kW supercharged V8-powered Commodore it’s calling the Series II Supercar.
Based on a Commodore SS-V, the Walkinshaw Series II Supercar has modifications to suspension, brakes and its bi-modal exhaust.
But it’s under the bonnet where most of the work has taken place.
The 6.0-litre V8 engine has been fitted with a supercharged designed by respected Californian-based company Edelbrock.

“It’s so refined,” said Walkinshaw Performance CEO Craig Wilson, who says there’s very little of the supercharger whine often associated with such high powered aftermarket upgrades.
“The package is the result of hundreds of hours of testing, refinement and discussions between the WP team and our suppliers to bring to market a truly unique product”.
From the outside, the look is restrained, with a mild carbon fibre lip spoiler, carbon fibre wing mirrors and a prominent bonnet bulge in keeping with the original Walkinshaw Commodore, produced by sister company HSV.
It has also been painted in the original Panaroma Silver colour of the 1987 HSV Walkinshaw.
The Walkinshaw Series II Supercar is also celebrating the 23rd anniversary of the Walkinshaw name in Australian muscle cars; don’t let an odd number get in the way of an excuse for an anniversary.
“We’re celebrating the release of the WP Series II Supercar by producing just 23 examples, finished in Panorama Silver, the same colour which adorned the original ‘Walky’ when it debuted at the Sydney motor show 23 years ago,” said Wilson.
The Series 2 Supercar is based on the updated Commodore Series 2, complete with a central touchscreen.
Priced from $117,000 just 23 examples of the Walkinshaw Series II Supercar will be produced.
