Re: [Chrysler300] Zinc in Motor Oil

["Warren Anderson" <wranderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, I first saw the 'Engine Oil Myths'  article in a GM 'Tech Link' publication. Volume 9, number 12, that has a date of December, 2007. Really current information of a sort that I have not seen from say Ford or Chrysler. 

 Confusion and maybe better said, complexity, with oil specifications  gets deeper when looking for the correct spec oil for say a VW or BMW. The European oil spec system requires testing many feel is far above that required for oils not rated ACEA. Whether an antique high output flat tappet engine really requires for instance an ACEA A3/B4 rated oil or not I do not know for sure, and some say they do,  but if oil buying is to be based on specifications,  this should be a good rating to look for. Then again, good luck finding A3/B4 oil.

  I have been following this debate/problem for a little while.
  I also have a whole collection of links where this is addressed.
  I think I'll try and locate the original source of this to cite to an
  independent oil source that I trust and see if it rings true with them.
