[Chrysler300] Zinky earl

[paulholm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The main answer person at D-A Lubricant had this to say to the
same question

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Holmgren:
 
You are correct in your comments and assessment of the issues
surrounding zinc levels in automotive engine oils, as they pertain
to older vehicles with sliding tappet type followers.
There has been some evidence that lower zinc antiwear additive
levels may have contributed to cam lobe damage and failure.
 
There is an oil available from the Central Indiana chapter of the
Classic Car Club of America that contains suffient zinc to protect
camshaft components.  It is designed specifically for antique, 
classic and other vintage engines with sliding tappet followers.
It is an SAE 15W40 oil that can be ordered by calling 
Helen Vogle at 317-446-7634 or 317-257-6601.
 
Thank you.

As I understand it, the oil product mentioned is made by 
D-A for the CCCA here.
