Castrol 20W-50 for my '94. That's for nice, hot Texas summer weather (which we have about 6 mos out of every year).

I wanted to try something different and my reading and research led me to the Brad Penn oil, which has a zddp content of about 1600 ppm.
If that oil pressure is real, something is wrong. Brad Penn has higher zinc (about 1500) and 1300-1400 Phosphorus. I can't get real excited about the difference. That won't raise your oil pressure.

Im ordering some Amsoil for a few on the list, and if anyone is interested, let me know .
Its going to cost about $8 per quart, which is about 20% off the store price.
Im ordering tomorrow wednesday if anyone is interested.

How many cases do you have to sell to earn the pink Cadillac?

I already have one! (according to the racers at the track )

Just trying to help as I HATE to give the auto parts store an extra 25 bucks when i dont have to!
AND, with my spectacular luck with the stuff, I would think some might want to take advantage if they are in the area. If out of the area, i could figure out how to drop ship it. I've actually been ordering it for along time but have never offered it here. But, since there is all this talk about oil, and given my experience with Amsoil, I thought some might want some.

By the way, the new AMSOIL oil is even better (if you can imagine that )
Its has increased Zink and Phosphorous.

I was just making a joke about Amsoil's pyramid marketing scheme.

The local tractor supply store in Green Bay carries it. Very popular with the snomobile crowd.
