<p>The main thing is to change oil regularly, at least every year,
and use a good quality oil 20W50 oil suitable for classic cars. If
you prefer a high level of ZDDP get a 10/20W50 for motorcyle
engines as they can legally have a higher content of ZDDP.</p>
<p>No additives needed. <br>

have always used ordinary conventional engine oil from a
well known refiner plus ZDDP additive. In the past 10 years
have mainly used Rotella because it still had ZDDP
additive. However, Shell has reduced the amount of ZDDP
additive so I increased my amount of additive. 2 years ago
my engine was getting tired at 67,000 miles and I had the
opportunity to have the engine rebuilt. After we took it
apart it was sent to the local machine shop. Lamont
indicated that the engine was in excellent condition with
all parts within specifications including crank, cam,
valves, etc. He said someone took very good care to keep the
engine running with good oil, and changing it regularly.
However, the cylinders were in need of .20 over which is not
unusual for the age of the block and the crank was cleaned
and polished It was reassembled with the same major parts
and runs very nicely. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

have not believed in buying high priced specialty oils for
our engines or gear boxes when good old DINO or Conventional
oil is good for them, of course, with an ZDDP additive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I
have used the same ZDDP additive for years because the
distributor I knew always had it in stock. When he went out
of business, I bought his stock. The directions are simple
add 5 oz. to a 4 cylinder engine so I used 7 oz. for our big
6 cylinder engine and at every oil change. I am using the
last bottle of the additive now and will have to switch to
another brand additive in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the other hand, in my original transmission, the
conventional oil was recently changed to Red Line MT-90.
Will see if there is a difference in 10 or 20 years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
