Like catalyst and soot traps and egr the oil has gone the same way. Diesel oil is probaby better, but not as good as it was.
I like it for the 2.5 gallon jugs at wal mart
I admire any man who has the stomach to walk into a Walmart.

Get the rotella for the 2.5g jugs.

Re: Zinc oil additive

The engine in my 86 came from Auto Zone about 7 years ago. Needless to say it doesnt have but about 18,000 on it now. Long story but it's true. I've put the lat 8000 on it. Stock engine. Would it hurt to run the delo oil in it?
Or Castroil 10w30 or 40 and keep on running it. It's not using any at 3000 oil change.
