Re: {Chrysler 300} motor oil

All the oils mentioned are fine to use as they contain sufficient zinc and your cars are happy. For the engineering types among us is the attached article about oil for vintage Corvettes (whose needs are no different than our Hemi, B & RB mills.)

I also use Brad Penn. Buy a case from Summit Racing and they will ship it free.

Like Danny, I’ve used Brad Penn and ZR1 - both great w/zinc 20/50.
My collection of internal combustion Mopars seem to happy.

I too vote for the AMSOIL Z-ROD, high zinc, high phosphorus formulation. Comes in 10W-30, 10W-40 and 20W-50. Right up there with the best. AMSOIL is an American founded, owned and operated company out of Superior, Wisconsin.

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.

Drew:

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?
