I cant seem to find any 5W-30 tractor/fleet/small engine HD oil other than Briggs and Stratton 5w-30 snowblower oil at 8 bucks a quart. Any suggestions or finds? - I'm not looking for a 10w-30. I also dont want a SM/ GF4 low saps EC oil.

Sounds like you need a 5/30 diesel oil, don't know of any but maybe somebody knows of one.
Arco, what is the application? Amsoil makes a great 5W-30 diesel oil.
Check out Rotella. I used to buy it in 5 gallon pails at
farm/fleet stores or at truck stop service centers at unheard of
low prices per quart and used it in my cars, motorcycles and
lawnmower. Although it's primarily marketed as a diesel oil
it also carries an API gasoline rating and works very well
in gas engines. They have recently changed their formulas
but I'll bet you can find one that fits your needs.
I got turned on to the T-syn 5-40 by the motorcycle
community years ago..I figured if it works well in
150HP, 1200cc high compression engines with shared
gear boxes it'll work well in my Infinity, Goldwing
Mercury, Honda, and lawnmower as well...and it has.
Good luck

Well, after re-reading the original post I think we have all missed the boat. Arco is looking for a DINO 5W-30 with high zinc and phos numbers. We will have to beat the bushes for this one.

Why so against 10w-30? WOuld you rather give up some ZDDP or some low-temp viscosity?

How much are you looking for?
Well, there's always Brad Penn 0W30. It is a synthetic blend that does have high ZDDP levels. I've seen it in the $5 and change range per quart.
I'm afraid that 5W30 + Dino + High ZDDP might be a hard creature to find.

I use rotella T 10w-30 in everything till late fall. Great stuff. I think the Oil co's agreed with the auto manufacturers to pull all mid saps PCMO 5w-30 off the market. Maybe I dont need a 5w-30 as much as my Toyota dealer SAYS I need it for warranty. I have VR1 10w-30 syn and Mobil 1 HM 10w-30 in my stash but feelin the most love for dino juice right now. Any OTC "zinc-up" at common New England autoparts stores Like pep boys or autozone?

If your looking at this for your Yaris there is no need for a high zddp oil. Just pick your favorite dino 5W-30 and go for it.

Just 1 gallon. thanks, DT, it sounds like you have a stash of old school stuff(?) - but Im really want to walk into a parts or tractor sales store within 20 miles of my log cabin and buy it of the shelf this week.

Oh but only the Rotella gave it the "well lubed and protected" feel. Any fave HM 5w-30 that give this magic velvety-purr engine feel? In my fat polish head I'm equating this feel with mid HTHS and MID saps. Missing either dont work!

Try some Valvoline Maxlife HM 5W-30 or some Pennzoil or QS HM oils in 5W-30. They all have a higher VI than standard 5W-30 oil. Might just be the ticket for you.
A current UOA of ACD, plenty of ZDDP.
