No need for zinc additive with Valvoline racing oil. I use the regular =

filter. They and the oil are on amazon.

Thanks everyone for the help. =20

It appears the collective wisdom has led me to select Valvoline VR1 =
Racing Oil, a Wix filter, and carefully measuring 5 quarts of oil and =
adding as the dipstick requires. I feel much more informed about what I =
am doing, thanks to YOU.=20
=20
I suppose with the VR1 oil there is no need to use the TRF zinc =
additive, right?

First of all, don=E2=80=99t use FRAM. Those filters are very low =
quality and don=E2=80=99t have a drainback valve.

WIX, and NAPA (same filter) are excellent choices. 51516 or 51438. =
The NAPA number is 1516 or 1438. Also Purolator L20195 will work. the =
spin on adapter for all TRs, MGA, MGB, etc all use the same filter.

For oil you can get the Valvoline Full Synthetic Racing Oil 20w-50 from =
advance auto; has the zddp you need. Unfortunately Advance Auto =
doesn=E2=80=99t carry WIX but they do carry the Purolator so you can get =
it all in one order with free shipping.

For the filter, if it is the same as the TR6 spin on, look up a 1996 =
Ford Mustang V6. You should get the Fram PH3600 and similar models. =
This info should let you pick your favorite brand.
