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 |

Have you checked Rotella lately? I remember about 5-6 years ago (?) they reformulated, and dropped the ZDDP levels significantly...

I remember about 5-6 years ago (?) they reformulated, and dropped the ZDDP levels significantly... --DD Rotella is down some on Zinc, but there are several good options. From what I have read the last couple of days, Lucas Hot Rod or Classic Car oil has plenty of zinc, actually, almost too much at 2100 ppm. I have read that anything over 2000 ppm begins to have a reverse affect. Shoe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
