Hey-
I have a '68 Barracuda Formula-S 340.
All original matching #'s. 123,000 on motor.
Want to change oil, but don't know what grade/weight to use.
I'm in Long Island,NY and car is stored for winter.
When I bought the car in May'07, the previous owner had just
changed oil...said he used Valvoline 10-40.
Car seems to be running fine, but I want to change oil before
taking out of storage.
If these ZDD claims are true, I want to use the correct oil/additive to match as closely as possible the oil that the motor required in'68 (so not to damage lifters, etc.)
Could you guys check out the site:

and help me decide what to do.
Seems like "modern" oil is not what I should use?
Thanks, Rick
