rck850 OP pro stock Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 1,385 Ohio	It's that time of year and I have to change oil in my Duster. I'm out of my stock of old Valvoline premium blue and EOS I used to run. I wanted to know whats the best for a mild 440 with a solid MP .528 cam? I know zinc is a high priority but i'd like to be able to get something off the shelf and not have to order from online. Are there any additives that are worth using? Thanks

It is getting more and more available from distributors, but not in every town. After years of buying from an out of town race shop, a local NAPA store started carrying it and I bought it there this year. 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG).
