Yes, this is expensive stuff but if you want the ultimate wear protection for older engines you can’t get much better than this.

Very good oil. Highly recommended for older engines with flat tappet camshafts. Newer oils, including synthetic oils, do not contain the proper zinc additives, to protect the cam and lifters. It’s the only oil that I will use in older cars, such as my 67 Fairlane 500 convertible 289 and my 1979 Olds 98 convertible with a high compression 455 Rocket.

This is what my engine builder recommended for my big vintage pontiac v8. I trust it.

I have used this in a 1956 Oldsmobile with a 324 and about 100k miles. I have also used it in a 1961 Chrysler Newport with a 361 with about 120k miles. All original drivetrain configuration on both vehicles. This oil worked great in ensuring had sufficient zinc content for the flat tappet lifters. Have been using this for years to take the guess work out of trying to find the right additive mix or flat tappet sensitive oils. This product isn't really needed if you have roller lifters. There is research that shows once you have the engine fully worn in after 20k miles, zinc additive may not be necessary. I decided to err on the side of caution and use this oil anyway because of the higher zinc content and have never had an issue. Some use diesel Rotella oil and that seems to work as well. I'm interested in supporting any organization that tries to keep the classic vehicle hobby alive so I felt this was the better option. Adding a separate Zinc additive never has the same positive impact as a full formulation like with this oil. I've found it provides excellent cooling properties as well. Have bought a few bottles and will buy again.
