Re: [Chrysler300] Oil

John; 
I think Kendall is a better formulation especially in the G-1 High Performance 30SAE. I have been using it in my Mexican Road Race car for 21 years. If you are not familiar with it that is currently a 7 day full bore 8 hour per day mostly high speed but grueling event.(not your typical country side tour) 
I also use it in the 300's and change it twice a year or 2500 miles with filter. These cars get very little highway except for short runs on the freeway so it is important to change often. 
OH! at $3.65 / quart it is a very safe bargain .

Hi Doug Mayer & 300's 

NAPA in Portland, Oregon has it. They do not recommend using the "Not Street 
Legal" in our 1957 300C as this mixture has no detergents in the oil. In 
1965, we were using Valvoline 30W Non-Detergent oil in the 300C and we had a 
valve stick open, of course that was the oil to use in our 300's at that 
time. I pulled the engine and did a complete over haul---cam, lifters, bore 
and pistons etc. 

Later, we used Detergent Valvoline Racing oil 30W. We are still using the 
Racing oil 30W.

I have been using Valvoline "not street legal" multi-grade oil for the 
last few years. 
I believe it has the zinc in it that we need--which is why it is not 
street legal at least for catalytic cars. 
Before I began using it, there was a slight knock in the valve train. 
Since I've begun using 
it, the knock is only in my head. 
I get it at the NAPA in Belfast, Maine.
