Would this be a good oil to run in my 8n ford?

I run it in all my old tractors along with a bottle of lucas oil stabilizer.

I heard it was better because of the zinc thanks

Do it no issues. Jim

Used it in an 861 and currently use it in an early 4 cyl. 4000. No issues.

Yes, I would recommend Rotella or Delvac.

What zinc?

Nick167 · Apr 9, 2014

Thanks all that's what I will get

The kitchen zinc for sure!

Zinc lubricant additives good shear and cushioning additives to oil--but foul catalytic convertors so most newer car oils have minimal zinc. Diesel trucks don"t have cats so use of zinc additive for camshaft wear, high pressure cushioning is still practiced- meaning the 15-40s recommended are diesel spec and "old" precat car spec or racing car spec= good oil for use in anything that doesn"t have a catalytic convertor. Old motorcycles and tractors fall in this category. My old Goldwing and IHC 350D get 15-40 in summer. RN
