Some Oil Info from the people themselves!
Thank you for contacting Castrol North America.
Castrol is aware of articles in enthusiast magazines and web- sites, as well as after-market parts manufacturer discussions concerning GF-4 engine oils and cam-shaft durability issues in older performance vehicles. Some consumers suspect the lower level of ZDDP in GF-4 oils may be causing these failures. Castrol is currently investigating this issue. If you wish not to use a GF-4 oil in your {Classic car}, Castrol does offer the following products that contain Zinc at a level that is higher than the Zinc level found in oils (API SG) marketed during the "muscle car" era of time: * Castrol GTX 20W-50 (SL,SM) * Castrol GTX Diesel 15W-40 (CI4,CH4,CG4,CF4,CF,SL) * Castrol GTX High Mileage 20W-50 (SL,SM) * Castrol HD 30 (SL,SM) * Castrol HD 40 (SL,SM) * Castrol Syntec Blend Truck 15W-40 (CI4,CH4,CG4,CF4,CF,SL)(Semi- synthetic) * Castrol Tection Extra 15W-40 (CI4Plus, CI4,CH4,CG4,CF4,SL) * Castrol Hypuron S 15W-40 (CI4Plus,CH4,CG4,SL)(Semi-synthetic) Thank you again for your continuing patronage.
