[DeTomaso] Oil change today

[Pantdino]

That is a good oil and I use in it in my Dino and older M3.
The main advantage of synthetic is that is flows better when cold.
If you live somewhere warm and don't track the car the T5 non-synthetic will serve you well also.  Walmart has both at good prices.

IIRC the ZDDP level for those is 800-1000 so for the Dino I add a bit of ZDDP contentrate to boost the level to about 1200ppm or so.

For the Pantera I have some older Rotella T5 equivalent with the higher ZDDP levels and I'll use that until it's all used up.

  I've been running Rotella T6 Full Synthetic 5W-40 for the last 3 years.
  (ever since I finally got this Cleveland straightened out)
  It's a formulation for heavy-duty diesel engines.
