Re: Engine Oil
Not by me. 10-30 or 10-40 depending on what time of year. Zinc is not needed in a Model A engine.

Re: Engine Oil
My engine rebuilder recommended Valvoline VR-1 high zinc racing oil, 10W-30. Given what I spent on the rebuild, I follow his recommendations.

Re: Engine Oil
use a 10-30 or 10-40 that is all you need unless the engine is worn out. Zinc won't hurt anything.

Re: Engine Oil
Most stations used a service where the old oil was re-refined and re-sold as reclaimed oil. I doubt he ran dirty oil, there would be no good doing so.

Do you walk with a limp? Likely so, because someone was sure pulling your leg! "recycled oil from Mobil"?? WalMart sells a LOT of oil! Where is Mobil getting all this oil to recycle, anyway? |

Re: Engine Oil
Many moons ago when I pumped gasoline, the station owner had a 275 gallon oil tank in a back room. It contained the residual oil that dripped from every can of oil used at the station. The oil from that tank was sold as "bottle oil" at a lower price than the canned oil. This practice was common place back in the 1950s and 1960s. In my garage these days, I continue this practice of draining residual oil from containers.
