Hi Ed,
The article is good, but there have been some changes in formulation since
article #3. Industry has reformulated those reccommended oils so little of
the oils are available with the ZDDP at levels needed for our engines and
the type of oil needed. Yes, Oil is not oil for lubrication purposes on
engines.
For the break in oils, it's now suggested that any HD30 weight with the
Crane Super Lube added to it. At the moment, Crane is backordered on the
additive. After break in there are but 3 oils that are suitable to use on
our flat tappet engines.
Valvoline VR-1 20-50
Castrol Syntec 20-50 Look for the notation on the bottle back, suitable for
classic cars.
Red Line 10-40
That's about it for now on the oils suitable for our newer old engines.
I guess the days of whatever is on sale is OK for our cars is gone forever.
Later, Paul A
