I am currently using Brad Penn oil in my 73 Teener based on the recommendations from Teener owners.
While it doesn't affect me, I was reading the small print and it said: "Contains high zinc and phosphorous additive concentrations which can be detrimental to cars with catalytic converters." Does this mean if you running a late model Teener with stock setup, you shouldn't use Brad Penn oil? |

No more generic weld ins. Must also be installed by an approved shop. Not that they check I'm sure, but if they do it can get expensive. |
