This will be old news for some, but I learned something new
today.<br><br>
I have been buying Kendall 20w-50 oil for the Sprite because it was
<i>reported</i> to have good amounts of ZDDP. Today when I went to buy
the familiar black bottle, I couldn't find it. That's because it is now
silver/grey color and it states specifically on the bottle that it
contains zinc (and other stuff) to protect flat tappet engines. The
bottle also carries a new part number. <br><br>
For some folks, this might be easier to find than Brad Penn or some of
the other brands. </div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote></div> </div></body>
