    Use a quality break in oil or you will wipe out the cam. Joe Gibbs Driven, Brad Penn/Penn Grade there are others also. We did a cam a month ago in a 69 Camaro with 15w40 and zinc additive, it wiped a lobe just after break in.

    Valve cover smoke after switching to synthetic oil

    Exactly what oil is in the car? My Brad Penn (now Penn Grade) oil is a semi-synthetic with a high amount of zinc and phosphorus. IMHO and based on reading a bit on the subject.... First, a lot of the oils aimed at the old car, flat tappet market are synthetic or semi-synthetic. Some are...

    New oil leak on my fury

    ...Rod Muscle car oil. I am not saying to use Lucas exclusively, just saying this is the type of oil you need for old flat tappet cam engines. I use Lucas in clients cars as it is pretty easy to purchase up here. For my personal cars and clients that want it I have Brad Penn/Penn grade high zinc...

    Fluids? Engine Oil, Transmission Fluid, Brake Fluid etc…

    Gibbs GP-1 uses the same American Refining Grps additive package Brad Penn originally used. There's some conflicting info on whether Penn Grade uses the same formula anymore. I haven't used Penn Grade but the Gibbs is green like the Brad Penn was.

    Fluids? Engine Oil, Transmission Fluid, Brake Fluid etc…

    Brad Penn is now known as Penn Grade and that’s what I use in my classics. I order it though summit but it is also on the shelf at my Auto Value parts store. 30 weight would be what you want. My trans guy tells me ATF+4 and that I shouldn’t be picky about brands. I use dot 5 brake fluid as long...

    Oh crap, I just changed my oil with a low-zinc oil, what should I do?

    Or. . . Go to Summit Racing and order six quarts of high zinc Penn Grade 15W-40 and a WIX oil filter (same as NAPA Gold). This is the oil I run in my '66 300 TNT. PennGrade 1 71586 PennGrade 1 Partial Synthetic Blend High Performance Motor Oil | Summit Racing 1966 CHRYSLER 300 Wix...

    Valvoline VR-1, Driven racing oil, Penn grade Are all great. Buy the oil made for the job, forget the ZDDP additives in off the shelf Modern motor oil. It has too much detergent and it fights your additive. many oil tests test the oil, then when thy put in the additive in the same oil the...

    Oil filter question

    ...probably not too different from Maryland where I live. I think your choice of oil is a little light as regards weight. In my 440s, I run Penn Grade 15W-40, and I use NAPA gold filters. Sounds like you got the right filter, but your choice of a conventional oil is not a good idea. Penn...
