New to Mopar

News to me have never heard about using zinc. Is this specific to this engine? What oil has it and why do I need it? (excuse my newbieness)
They pulled most of the zinc out of oils several years ago because it was linked to plugging up catalyst converter. Means almost all vehicles had roller cams by the very late eighties, there really wasn't a great need for high zinc ppm. Our older motors with non roller cams need the zinc. This is especially true on new cams. You can add zinc with additive (bought at local parts store), order it on line (ZDDP Maxx), or run a oil that has it already in it like VR1 Valvoline (O'reilly's sells it) for examples. These by all means aren't the only choices, just examples.
Without the zinc, higher risk of lobes going "flat" on the cam (this would be bad news). If your running a factory stock motor with 60,000 miles on it, you should be ok with over the counter oils (although zinc is still a cushion for the cam). If you have a new cam, higher than stock valve springs, you need the zinc.
