I have three old Corvettes that sometimes are not driven for a month or more at a time, especially during the winter months.
I was on the Amsoil sight reading over their oil descriptions and noticed "Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with a unique blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors to ensure maximum protection during long-term storage."
I hadn't even considered that one all might be better than another for my cars because of it's corrosion inhibitors. The HTHS of Z-ROD 10w40 is 4.3 which is close to the 4.5 of Mobil 1 15w50 that I'm currently using.
I do take all of my cars for a 40+ minute drive at least once a month, but occasionally that doesn't occur. So my questions are - is rust and corrosion genuinely something to be concerned about? And, would Amsoil Z-ROD 10w40 actually protect against corrosion better than M1 15w50?
Thanks for your help!
