zinc
thats why I was asking, I think this would be much better on an old school motor.
I did some research a while ago, as well as some training at work on oils. Rotella and Delo Diesel engine oils are great for roller engines (
usually mid 1990's and newer), but they can be harmful (zinc) to older flat tappet cam engines. I know it's always been believed that "C" rated diesel oil is better than "S" rated gasoilne oil, but you should be able to find more accurate literature on Shell's and Chevron's websites. It's best to run what the mfg. recommends, unless you've built it up, then run what your engine builder or engine parts mfg. recommend. Just my 2 cents
