[DeTomaso] Valvoline oils (AMSOIL now)

[Dave McManus]

Yes BUT the Amsoil is Synthetic & I don't want to chase leaks & replace
seals. Amsoil is a great oil. If I had a new seals, yes, I would use Amsoil
but not with old seals. Same holds true with the gear oil. Some people did
not have any issues switching to synthetic but others have had issues (me
included). 

 

I'm using conventional, non synthetic with ZDDPlus additive. www.zddplus.com

Once again... :-)
 

I think this is a fairly new product...my Amsoil supplier just mentioned it.
10W-30 and 20W-50 high zinc
content with strong corrosion inhibitors.  Good for older engines, weekend
cruisers and long-term storage.
Sounds like it was made with Panteras in mind.
