Engine oil Shell or Lucas
mobil 1 is trash. i go with castrol5w40 or motul 5w40 or rotella diesel 5w40
I ran diesel oil in my '94 yukon for the entirety of it's 260k miles. My dad always said the same. The zinc was better for it. When I got rid of it, it was still running fine and driving fine.
I’ve been using rottela t 15w-40 in my 70 Camaro for this reason.
I use Rotella in old VW Bug. Seems to work well but i put very few miles on the car.
I run Rotella in my 49 flathead and in my 91 civic.
As long as you don't have a catalytic converter on it Diesel oil with Zinc is the best
I run Rotella in my E24 at the advice of people on the BMW forums.
So I took his advice and did the Rotella T-4 and MMO in my 71 LeSabre 350. Added a little to the gas, too. I run 93 octane gas. Engine is stock and original, about 90k miles. It's running so smooth now. It was an immediate, noticeable difference.
Using rotella t4 btw.
I've used a number of different oils in my XS400 over the past couple years, can't say I've noticed much of a difference other than when I used a 15W40 the engine was a lot noisier, going back to 20W50 and the engine quieted down a lot.
