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

[Mark Souders <MRS954@xxxxxxx>]

I used to use Rotella motor oil on the advice of my wife's boss, who is the manager of fleet maintenance for a major battery manufacturer. But just over a year ago Quaker State introduced their zinc enriched Defy brand motor oil. If you Google search "quaker state defy" you'll find lots of info about it. I've been using it in my 300H and my 79 Jeep CJ7 and have been fully satisfied with it. No leaks, no drips, and the bonus is 1 MPG improvement in fuel economy in my Jeep. I haven't checked MPG on my Chrysler yet.

John Peabody was trying to get this message on the server.  I’ve seen some
igh-zinc oil and additives advertised but have not kept the information

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