Valvoline VR1 and Hemmings Motor Oil are among the oils with the required (or higher which is good) levels of the minerals.

Jack, speaking of higher levels of zinc being good, for a 30 weight, would this maybe be a better choice?

I know it shows for use in engine break-in periods only, but it has two and a half times the zinc as the VR1...or would that be overkill?

Just for the sake of historical value and accurate information in this thread, regarding this Lucas Oil product, I spoke with someone at their manufacturing facility and found that this product does not have the additives necessary for long term engine operation.  They do have several high zinc oils for use in classic cars, but not in SAE 30w...

So the Valvoline VR1 30w it is.
