Re: [Chrysler300] Too MUCH oil pressure?

["jean-yves chouinard" <jymopar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been using Hughes Engine "extreme pressure additive" since last summer along with Shell Rotella. It has this honey like consistancy and reminds me of engine breaking oil. 
They claim you can use any kind of modern "crappy" oil as long as you put one pint of their stuff every oil change and your engine/cam is protected. They have a web site at www.hughesengines.com
See tech articles and then click on product info and instruction and then click on article # 207.
My experience is that my engine runs a bit smoother with that additive. And you don't have to worry about your favorite oil company changing their oil recipe without notice. 
Price for a pint is $5.95 in US ...but $11.95 in Canada...

  If Shell Rotella no longer has the minimum level of ZN and P desired for our 300 engines, then Mobil Delvac Super 1300 (and other similar products) probably don't either. Is there a quality brand of motor oil on the market that does have the desired level of Zn and P? 

  My research indicates that the additives STP and EOS are ineffective in raising the levels of these two components.

  In light of the mentioned changes in Federal regulations last year, any new motor oil information available to us?

  ROTELLA no longer has the zinky in enough PPM, the Fed regs changed 
  things, as of Jan 2008 I think the earl had to change also for the new 
  diesal requirements.
