I have found better results with Mobile one Red cap over Amsoil Series 2000 in the dale engine, although I still prefer the Amsoil in the Tranny. I change the engine oil every 6-8hrs and the tranny every 20 hrs. <br /><br />Derno. You may want to try Valvoline full synthetic in the Z. I have run thi...
