I found out 20-50 tends to hold heat and the temp climbs.. I also found out useing a stright weight oil like 30 weight that it thins out and oil pressure drops.. So Ken , A big THANK YOU!!!! Anyway to my question . When I was in Palm Springs GWFBT I  won a qt of Rislone eng oil Supplement with Zinc Treatment, is this something that can help my eng or is this something I should sell at my next yard sale?

The short of it all is, I am pretty sure all, 10W-40 and heavier oils have enough zinc in them to do an adequate job for our engines. I am pretty sure all, 10W-30 and lighter oils will be labeled as "energy conserving". If so then they will not have enough zinc to protect our engines.
