just to know what kind of oil you run your Classic Mopar (440 of course:D )

I have a bunch of 10w40 and 15w50 but someone says it's better a dyno oil...:dontknow:

thanks

....and yes, which oil :eek:

Due to government regulations lowering zinc levels in oil, I have been running Shell Rotella T 15w40 diesel oil,even though I have a solid roller. If you run something other than a roller lifter,ie., flat tappet mechanical or hydraulic, the zinc helps in lubrication. There has been an increase of flat tappet cam failures as of late due to the lower zinc levels. Most,if not all new vehicles have roller tappets so it does not affect them as much. Comp Cams makes a break in additive which contains zinc,that they suggest to run all the time. If you are interested I can get the part # for you.
 
This is it. Part# 159-12 if you want to order a case of 12 bottles.



CAMSHAFT BREAK-IN LUBE
PART #159
$13.27
Quantity:
None in your basket



DESCRIPTION:


COMP Cams® Engine Break-In Oil Additive

Time marches on . . . and generally that’s a good thing. But unfortunately, over time, some of the good stuff can get left behind. COMP Cams® Engine Break-In Oil Additive brings back the good stuff, delivering a specially engineered blend of extreme pressure break-in additives that have been removed from current off-the-shelf motor oils. Delivering added protection during the break-in process and beyond for all engine components, including the camshaft and lifters, COMP Cams® Engine Break-in Oil Additive is compatible with any petroleum, synthetic or blended motor oil.

COMP Cams® Engine Break-In Oil Additive extends the durability of internal engine components, protecting against premature camshaft, lifter and valve train failure. Best of all, COMP Cams® Engine Break-In Oil Additive has proven to deliver long term benefits with new or rebuilt engines through continued usage. Simply pour in a bottle for initial break-in, run the engine for approximately 1,000 miles, drain the system thoroughly and then refill with clean oil and another bottle of COMP Cams® Engine Break-In Oil Additive at each oil change.
 
in my classic Mopar i run 5w-40 amsoil. my classic is a Ram SRT-10 RC:rock: :rock: :rock:
 
I have always used GM EOS Engine Oil Supplenent with good results.

Another alternative that works well.
 
Castrol GTX 05-w30 in my Super bee 383 and Coronet R/T 440. I do not like synthetics on the older cars, they tend to leak thru the gaskets a little more.
