Re: {Chrysler 300} motor oil

Another vote for the Valvoline 20w50 with the high zinc 'racing oil'.

I like Rotella and use it in some of my old cars. I like Valvoline VR1 “racing oil” as well for the zinc content. It’s a little more expensive but seems to perform well and do what the older motors need.

This subject is hotly debated on a Corvette forum I frequent where many participants are engineers and former Big 3 employees.

The consensus among them is Rotella 15W40 or its equivalent meets all requirements for mid century high compression sliding surface (flat tappet) engines. Though sold for Diesels it has sufficient zinc and is the most economical.

I don't use it. I fall for the allure of oil formulas for old cars. I use Brad Penn 10W40 in everything and have for over 20 years. Did you ever see the pretty green color?

Subject: {Chrysler 300} motor oil

Looking for a 30 weight motor oil I can buy in bulk, at least by the gallon. My family has always run Pennzoil in all our old cars but it gets old buying it in cases of 6 quarts if I need to do multiple oil changes. I was considering Rotella T1 as it seems you can buy it in gallon jugs at least. Does anyone have any advice?
