Re: [Chrysler300] Oil

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

All:
I have a simple question for those who know.  Do diesel engines use  flat 
tappets or roller type?  Seems like the answer to that would help  decide the 
correct oil for us.  Personally, I have used Castrol diesel oil  in the 
300F since the first change.  So far, so good with six meets under  its tires.

Sorry,  modern Diesel oils in the USA HAVE to conform to EPA  regs and 
EPA said, get the zink out!!!   Daughter works in the  industry and they 
are even having supply problems on the newer fuels  too!
