I need to get some oil. Locally, I can purchase Brad Penn oil and Amsoil with zinc (see link at end of post) I have a 2256 4cyl. They are both about the same price and they both come in the same viscosity. Which would you get?

Those using diesel oil should take a look at the zinc and phosphorus levels. The new diesels have new smog equipment on them, and they have been pulling all of the good stuff out of their oils too.

As I understand it these days, specialty oils are the only real good answer anymore.
