Hey oil fans…
I need some help. I recently inherited my dad’s 87 Monte Carlo SS. It only has 23K miles. The engine is in great shape of course and I want to keep it that way.
On oil selection, I have researched this a lot… including all of Lake Speed Jr’s video on YouTube.
Where I have fallen is do I go with a high ZDDP formulation like Driven HR-2 or Lucas Hotrod & Classic Car… OR should I be looking at an API approved formulation… if it’s an API approved formation, should I be looking at a high mileage setup to protect seals.
I would love to get opinions or facts on this topic and next steps… thanks in advance. I added a pic for fun.
