RE: [Chrysler300] Zincified oil for a C-300?

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use Red Line break in additive.  It is recommended for older flat tappet
motors and replaces the zinc missing in the new oils.  I use about a half
bottle with a fresh oil change of modern dino oil, not synthetic.  I don't
feel synthetic makes sense for collector cars because of the high cost,
usually frequent changes and potential for leaks.

John Peabody was trying to get this message on the server. I've seen some
high-zinc oil and additives advertised but have not kept the information
handy. Anyone having a good answer for John, please send it to him at:

   Has the 300 group come up with a zinc replacement or a zinc additive for
our flat tappet brutes? Everything I come up with is a synthetic oil or a
blend. I stored my C-300 without changing the oil knowing I'll have till
spring to come up with an oil or a zinc add. My friend added synthetic
oil in his Chevy 409 and sprouted leaks. My Chrysler is the only car I
have, new or old, that doesn't leak and I want to keep it that way. The
right choice should work for the 'old man' or the 'hot rodder' type driver.
Thanks, John and Nancy Peabody
