You will never know what engine it is....the 409 emblems are on the side of the fenders....not on the rear of the car !

Franks right about Rotella and all the diesel oils they are reformulated and no longer have the zinc because of the new emission systems .

The Rotella has been reduced, but still has an adequate amount from what I've read.

I would buy the Spectro. I have been using Spectro oils in ALL the Harleys I have serviced and maintained for my customers for a quarter of a century. The best oil I have found for air cooled engines.
There is a guy on Team Chevelle that has had some oils tested. The results may surprise you. Mabey someone will post a link to his results.
