Synthetic motor oil? What is best choice?
What is the best engine oil for hot air cars? 10w30 is recommend in owners manuel. What about synthetic? My car is stock with 126,000 miles-runs strong and does not smoke.

ZDDP is all you need to know. If you change you oil often the brand and type of oil is all HYPE! Same HYPE is with different brands(not octane) of gasoline-there all the same. My 2 cents. Brad

Dino is a brand of oil. ZDDP plus is a zinc additive for all engine oils which is needed for our flat tappet cams. Oils made today have eliminated the ZINC due to EPA rules. This additive can be found at Kirbansperformance and on e-bay among others. Brad

I agree with everyone on here, tho i haven't used ZDDP. Adding some type of motor additive is better then straight oil on any motor. I use lucas myself, along with CASTROL EDGE or any oil with lucas added to it.

when i first got my car, one of my first experiments was running regular 10W30 Valvoline in it. after about 100 miles, it was cooked from the turbo.
i switched to the same Mobil 1 that i was running in my Nova- and it looked brand new after a few thousand miles. but these days i just run one of the diesel oils- sometimes i run the synthetic Rotella T, but i think i've just got NAPA regular 15W40 diesel oil in it. if it didn't leak from the rear and front seals, oil pan gasket, and valve covers, i think i'd go back to the Mobil 1 since it ran the best on that oil.
