Re: [Chrysler300] Zincified oil for a C-300?

[MARK HOPKINS <m.hopkins@xxxxxxx>]

There is a product advertised in Mopar Collector Guide called Z-Alt Muscle Car Oil, which their website www.z-alt.com states is specially blended with ZDDP for pre-1975 vehicles without catalytic converters. It's a bit pricey, but purports to be more suitable for old engines than modern racing oils (correct detergent levels / less paraffin etc.). It's real petroleum, not synthetic. 

Has anyone used it? It appears to be closest to the mark in meeting what we need in old car engines, but I haven't seen any reviews on it.

A note about Rotella - not only has the ZDDP been reduced to minimal levels; being formulated specifically for diesel engines, it has a very high detergent content, not necessarily beneficial for old engines made from the softer alloys of the 50's and 60's. 

Best wishes to all for a great 2013!

Mark in Calgary (flying out of all this snow for Scottsdale on Saturday!)

I'd swear by Kendall. Used it for 30 years in all my class 8 rigs.

John Peabody was trying to get this message on the server. I've seen some 
high-zinc oil and additives advertised but have not kept the information 
handy. Anyone having a good answer for John, please send it to him at:

Has the 300 group come up with a zinc replacement or a zinc additive for 
our flat tappet brutes? Everything I come up with is a synthetic oil or a 
blend. I stored my C-300 without changing the oil knowing I'll have till 
spring to come up with an oil or a zinc add. My friend added synthetic oil 
in his Chevy 409 and sprouted leaks. My Chrysler is the only car I have, new 
or old, that doesn't leak and I want to keep it that way. The right choice 
should work for the 'old man' or the 'hot rodder' type driver. 
Thanks, John and Nancy Peabody
