Default Re: Detergent oil

I use 20-50, and do not add anything to it. New oils have some zink in them, just not as much as several years ago. Original Model A oils had none. The A has a forged steel cam, as opposed to cast like in modern engines. Also the A has very mild valve spring pressure, so added zink is not needed.
