[T3] Engine Oil

[Keith Park]

I use Pennzoil 25W50 racing oil in the square with its old engine, in summer
use, it has the ZDDP.  In the Notch I use Joe Gibbs, forget what type,
but its for the air cooleds and has the ZDDP.  10W30 as the engine is young
and tight.  Remember, synthetics cant be used in stock engines without the
oil filter.

Within our Type 3 group, what engine oil is popular?

   1. Price per quart or
   2. 12-quart case?


Do any of you insist on using an engine oil which either has

   1. Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) *IN* the oil or
   2. do you *add* approximately 4 oz. of ZDDP, when you change your oil?

I have periodically used Valvoline VR1 10W-30 Racing Oil and Amsoil Z-Rod
10W-30.  Both are quite expensive.

Are those oils worth the expense, given most of us drive a few hundred or a
few thousand miles a year?
