Engine oil (for european cars)
 

Hi guys,
it's time to change the engine oil on my 1990 zr1.
I live in Italy, what brand/type of oil i can use for my lt5?
What are the specs that i need to see on the bottle?
Now i 'm using a common 10w40 oil, my car have very low mileage (about 25500miles).
Thanks in advance

Amsoil 10W40 with higher Zinc content. Should be able to get it sent to you.

I ordered Amsoil from Poland through ebay.

I use Amsoil Z-Rod, 10W-30. Includes anti-corrosion additives for cars that sit for extended periods between drives as well as high zinc for flat tappet engines.

Sent from my SM-G975U1 using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app

Hi Dynomite

Also this Mobil 1 5w30 is available:

-Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30

Re: Engine oil (for european cars)
 

The SG API in modern oils is not mentioned ... there are more recent specifications such as API SL / SM / SN
I want to know if one of the Mobil oil that i posted is a good choise, because buy the amsoil with shipping and duties is too much expensive.
Have you ever heard of ceramic power liquid?

It is a treatment for the engine that lasts up to 60000 miles. It is a nanotechnological product based on ceramic particles

Ok guys...
reading the mobil oil product guide i can see that the MOBIL 1 ESP FORMULA 5W30 is a good choice and we can find it easy in Italy. Have 800 phosphorus and 900 Zinc, also the price is good...Here in europe, Mobil, have different type of oil that in the USA.
This is what we have for MOBIL1:
