Jim,

I have used Brad Penn 20/50 racing oil for the past 10 years in my 3,4 
and 6. It is a bit pricey but I get it by the 12 qt. case. I think it is 
called Penn Grade 1 now.

I have been using regular oil with a zddp additive but his article said the extra detergents in the newest oils (last four years) wash that away internally so it is not as effective.
