Valvoline 4-stroke Motorcycle Oil
:) Points well taken, pt70! Yes, my wife's 2013 model car was designed for synthetic oil and that's what it gets. Our older cars such as my '62 Dodge Lancer with the original slant 6 and my '57 Chevy run flat tappet cams and the Valvoline 4-stroke Motorcycle Oil has been really good for them. My youngest son is finally getting around to building a '96 roller cam engine for his older car and he will be running the Valvoline motorcycle oil for its excellent additive package and wear properties, as well.
I might add that for the past 5 years, I have been adding 4 ounces of MotorKote at each oil change, as well. Now I will be the first to say that I consider the great majority of oil and fuel additives to be snake oil at best and at worst some can even damage an engine. However, I have found that MotorKote is one of the few that actually work. I use it in all our engines following break-in and it does reduce friction as it claims. Yes, I even use it in my wife's 2013 model car after the dealer changes the synthetic oil. 135,000 miles on it so far and the car runs great......
Best regards,
Harry
