Re: Zinc oil additive

The new LE rotella hasn't the zinc any more either. But keeps an engine super clean inside, my 406 looked awesome when it was apart last. Had been together since 2007 with rotella 15w40 in it.

Re: Zinc oil additive

I use AC Delco EOS. I have used it when breaking in my Harley engines for the last 20 years. I have it in my new 350 crate engine. You can buy it at Pep Boys also.

thanks for the tip Ken, I wish we could still buy this in our local parts houses here in California but at least in Nor Cal no go, Lucas is the only additive we see, and it's pricey. Is it Lucas domination or CA regulations? who knows, either way we suffer
