OK. Forget I made an effort to help. I'll slink back into my corner now and keep shut. </div></div>

Actually thanks for that Tony, good info, also allot of wives tales out there about this subject, if you know what I mean... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I've started using Amsoil Z Rod 10w30 in my LS6 &amp; Z28. Zddp content is adequate for the solid lifters.

Thanks for the info on the reduction of Zinc in Rotelle, looks like I will be changing to VR1.

Re: ZINC IN OIL & ZINC ADDITIVES
 

Rotella-T is still good enough if you want to go that route.

Re: ZINC IN OIL & ZINC ADDITIVES
 

Looks like I will stay with Rotella and save some cash, but I will keep a tab on it's decreasing Zinc content. Thanks

Re: ZINC IN OIL & ZINC ADDITIVES
 

Todays Rotella is low on zing because of the diesels running cats now.If you can still find some old API service CI-4 plus Rotella you'll be in good shape.I myself still have about one gal.left of this type of Rotella.I also been adding ZDDPlus additive in my 10W40 oil for a few years now.For my L34 Nova i've been using VR1 20W50 oil,but i think i'll start using VR1 in all three of my cars soon.
