Re: [Amc-list] Motor Oil & Filter Confusion (where do I start)

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunatly none of the off the shelf oils you can buy at walmart or most any auto parts store has very much zink in it. The EPA ( our Government) Mandated the new levels of zink in all Modern oils. This is why the high zink oils such as Valvoline racing oil has right on the bottle " Not Street Legal"  Because it is not EPA compliant to be used in todays cars. Remember the Government and certain green activists want to get rid of the Car hobby.
   look at what Canada has done. They destroyed a billion $ industry in their country by outlawing high octane race gas.

you forgot to mention what the api cert should be! most oil today is
api cert 'sm' and that's the low zinc stuff. 'si' and earlier [like
the walmart 'sf'] is the high stuff. for diesel oil, 'ci' is high,
'cj' lower.
