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

["Michael Reed" <mrreed@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just to clarify a point. I used very high detergent motor oil (Mobil Delvac, diesel engine oil) since the 50s in every car I've owned until a couple of years ago. Suffered no engine damage, premature wear, or problems of any sort. Actually, quite the opposite.

I worked for, then managed, a large petroleum distributorship for many years -- that's how I got onto the beneficial results from using Delvac. Delvac and Rotella are nearly identical products.

  There is a product advertised in Mopar Collector Guide called Z-Alt Muscle Car Oil, which their website www.z-alt.com states is specially blended with ZDDP for pre-1975 vehicles without catalytic converters. It's a bit pricey, but purports to be more suitable for old engines than modern racing oils (correct detergent levels / less paraffin etc.). It's real petroleum, not synthetic. 

  Has anyone used it? It appears to be closest to the mark in meeting what we need in old car engines, but I haven't seen any reviews on it.

  A note about Rotella - not only has the ZDDP been reduced to minimal levels; being formulated specifically for diesel engines, it has a very high detergent content, not necessarily beneficial for old engines made from the softer alloys of the 50's and 60's. 

  Best wishes to all for a great 2013!

  I'd swear by Kendall. Used it for 30 years in all my class 8 rigs.

  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
