Amzoil Z-ROD 10/30.  Also comes in 20/50.

 

It's an ester based synthetic like RedLine only better.  Made for old flat tappet collector cars and has a healthy dose of ZDDP along with a clinging agent for infrequent startups.

Brad Penn   20 W 50 

//www.penngrade1.com/

Has your Zddp -and is a Good old fashioned made in America supplier.

Price per quart IS a little bit more than your higher priced full Synthetics, but the peace of mind is priceless.

  If intersted in puchasing. I can point you in direction of my local supplier / British Mechanic - He Sells is buy the case.

1 Case =12 Quarts  =  2 oil Change cycles.

 

Highly reccomended

Since the oil of today has barely or no ZDDP in it, which is causing tons of problems to our cars and many others here in the U.S. my question is what brand of oil and rating is everyone using in there Minis..
