Re: Plan. B if I can't get Amsoil Z-Rod?
Is Mobil 1 5W30 Synthetic High Mileage Oil still an option?

Re: Plan. B if I can't get Amsoil Z-Rod?
Turns out that Mobil 1 5w30 Synthetic High mileage has 900 ppm of zinc. A little low, but adding a few ounces of ZDDP should put me into range.
The Mobil 1 info can be found here: https://www.mobil.com/lubricants/-/m...EC97C2C1C5491F

Re: Plan. B if I can't get Amsoil Z-Rod?
Its one of the ones that's hard to get up here. I remembered your recommendation an went looking for it.
I'm also guessing you pay less the $278 for 12 bottles down there.... https://www.amazon.ca/Brad-Penn009-7...ps%2C97&sr=8-1

It's made to reduce friction particularly in places where the oil is exposed to extreme material pressure. The MoS2 added acts like heavy metals in pre-emission oils do.

Check if Amazon Germany ships to Canada https://amzn.eu/d/ajBQkJy
(Or check directly on www.Amazon.de) Pretty good price over here. I recently got 8 5L containers for 28 euros each.
