I found an invoice for Extralube Zx1 with the history when looking through all the reciepts with the last oil change! I remember reading up on this stuff that it contains chlorinated parafin which can corrode copper and bronze!! If the valve guides are copper or bronze which i have a very strong feeling they are what to do? Flush and change the oil? etc. Thanks

They are more than likely made from Phosphor Bronze. but if your cornered drop the oil for it all it cost and i am sure if it corrodes you valve guides it will cost a lot more than to change the oil.
