RE: [Chrysler300] Oil

[Larry Jabin <larry@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anybody know what the minimum levels of zinc & phosphorus we need in the oil for our 300s

Below are the levels for Kendall GT-1(r) High Performance Motor Oil 30wt

Is this enough? Does not seem like very much

Phosphorus, wt % 0.085
Zinc, wt % 0.094

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!
