I'm ready to fire up my 528 Hemi. It's a Ray Barton built Mopar Performance engine. Was dynoed by Barton before being shipped. My plan is to use Lucas Hot Rod and Classic 10w30 oil. This stuff has high zinc. Sound like a good choice?

No not to me. What did Ray tell you to use?

I intend to call them and see what they recommend. The booklet that comes with the engine doesn't specify what weight of oil to use.

Barton's told me to use the Joe Gibbs hot rod 10-30 in my 528 solid lifter engine. Most people like the Brad Penn stuff too. I would think the Lucas is quality oil also. They told me I could run the break in oil for a few miles before the first oil change.

I called them today and they said exactly the same thing to me. They said I could go with the 10w40 too but either would be just fine.
