Hello,
I'm thinking of using synthetic oil to keep troubles away from my dear Lada. It's only at 30 000 miles so I'm sure it won't be issues with the the dino-gunk-sealing-the-seals-problems and such. The only thing I worry about is that the ZDDP content of "modern car" oil won't be enough for my old school Lada, as it uses flat tappets rather than rollers. The manual says to use 10w-40 so here are the oils I've mainly been looking at:
Mobil 1 Super 2000 X1 10w-40 (1440ppm ZDDP, semi-syn)
Mobil 1 Super 3000 X1 5w-40 (900ppm ZDDP, full syn)
Mobil 1 0w-40 Protection formula (1000ppm ZDDP, full syn)
I feel safe buying Mobil 1 and it's available for a good price at my local oil place. But which one should I choose?
