Thread on Oil w/Zinc
My mind must have left me. Can anyone help me find the thread on the need for oils w/zinc (race oil)? Or did I see it elsewhere? Help.

Re: Thread on Oil w/Zinc
Thanx, Rick. I was starting to wonder if this thread was real or something I created in 'dreamland'.

Re: Thread on Oil w/Zinc
IMHO that CI rated oil for diesel engines are actaully better for vintage motors. This is due to the additive package which has larger doses of ZDDP.

I replaced the Castrol GTX in all my cars with the Rotella 15w40. Now I can buy it by the case when I change the oil in my diesel Suburban.
