Re: [Chrysler300] Oil

[retromobilia@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I am told by my mechanic that new diesel oil has had to limit the Zinc also so I think the best result would be to use an oil which can certify that it still contains ZDDP. 
This is like the old discussion about led additive; And there are probably still 80% of the old cars without hardened seats and no led gas still running well. That being said it is still possible to find an oil which contains ZDDP even if it is the old single weight SEA 30. This is what our cars grew up on after all.....

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!
