Default Re: Oil for model a+ t

Agree completely. Any oil you can buy today is 1000 times better than oils of the 1920's - 1930's. ZDDP was first used as an oil additive in the mid - 1950's because of higher valve spring pressures causing premature failure of cast iron camshafts and cast iron lifters. It was never used in the Model A era and never needed due to low valve spring pressure and low RPM.
