I searched several ways and never did find a thread on what is the latest recommended engine oil, type 4 engine.
I did however find several heated threads about GL5 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Please let me know what oil I can get at a normal store and not special order. Thanks Rich |

Thanks Rich You want something with ZDDP it is the additive for flat tappet cams ie type iv. There are oils at your flap that have the additive read the label. The higher the concentration the better. Many here use Penn Grade 1, used to be Castrol GTX but that name was sold off years ago. Joe Gibbs has a line of racing oils very high in ZDDP. Oil is cheap my engine was pretty expensive, I get a case of Penn Grade 1 30W from Amazon when I need it. I think GL 5 is gear oil for trannys? |
