At Autozone

Selling for $4.19 a quart. There is no promotion or signage. In fact, the clerks don't even know it.

I picked up 16 qts earlier and plan to buy more when the truck comes in. A posting on Pelican tipped me off...

Get the dino version "racing" make sure the bottle says VV211 on the back upper right corner of the label and in the description on the back it mentions high Zinc.

VR1 zinc content advertised as 1200 ppm

Brad Penn zinc content advertised as 1500 ppm..however, the thread here with a lab analysis shows 1113 ppm to 1540 ppm depending on the lab (Brad Penn Lab results)

Long story short, you have mothing to worry about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Just curious....Why would you want to run conventional when the synthetic has the exact same amounts of additives including zinc and phosohorus counts of 1400 ppm?

Oh Lawd.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

There are so many threads on that it's not even funny

Start by googling synthetic oil in old Porsche engines (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

I didn't realize my question was so funny. Perhaps someone with more of a brain than a funny bone can answer my question.

Why don't you try google? You will find plenty of reading material.

As far as the brain versus funny bone comment......chill out...it's all good
