Oil Recommendations

[stimpy29]

What type of oil do you generally use in your mopar? I recently used the Rotella diesel oil to break in my new 360, but going forward do you recommend I stick with that or try something different? Would you recommend anything different for a 440?

Your comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The rotella doesn't have the zinc content it once had anymore,i'm, switching to Valvoline vr1 racing oil this week its loaded with the zinc we need for flat tappet cams,if your running a roller then the rotella would still be fine,,

Its much easier to find high zinc and phosphorus oils in the 20w50 viscosity but its kind of thick especially for more moderate temp climates.
