RE: [Chrysler300] Chrysler 300 oil

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For what it is worth, about a year ago I phoned tech support at Chevron
regarding using current gas engine motor oils in older flat tappet engines.
I was assured by the advisor that the replacement "package" blended into the
newer oils was a suitable safe replacement for the zinc that was taken out. 

 

I could tell that he was fielding many phone calls similar to mine, and he
made it clear, at least in his mind, that he was kind of tired of car
collectors doubting what he was expressing to be true.

My question is will the remaining available oil with ZDDP likely go the way
of leaded gas; i.e. is it a dying breed and will we inevitably face the need
to just use an additive like Eastwood's? My understanding is that the ZDDP
levels in motor oil were reduced starting in the mid-1990's. This means
that many of us who didn't know any better ran on low-ZDDP for a long time
before the issue got a lot of visibility. Do we have an engineer expert in
the club that knows for sure that Eastwood's (or other brands) ZDDP leaves
undesirable deposits? 

With the no-lead gas issue, I believe that it has been proven that in light
engine use (i.e. not drag racing or towing) that value seat recession is
minimal. Twenty-five plus years of no lead gas seems to bear that out. It
seems that ZDDP is a more critical issue, especially for the solid-lifter
cams and especially during break-in on rebuilt engines. The ZDDP issue has
been debated in the club for the last eight years. Is there a clear
long-term solution?

Thanks

Tom, 
I understand that this type of additive does not bond with the oil and can
leave deposits in some unwanted and wasted places like the filter and oil
pan, rocker arms, pushrods, and so on. A processed and formulated oil with
ZDDP zinc and other agents such as Kendall GR-1 High Performance (in various
weights) costs just 3.65 per quart. Does this make more sense to you?

Actually, right now Eastwood has 4oz ZDDP listed on e bay for $6.95, with
free shipping. I use it a lot and this is probably the best price I have
seen anywhere.
