Brad Penn, change every year or 3,000 miles whichever comes first
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

69 GT350 Vert

I use Lucas Hot Rod Oil.  My engine builder recommended it.  It has high zinc and phosphorous.

I use Mobil1 and add one blue bottle of STP per 5 quart for the ZDDP.

My 68 GT350 has an 8 quart road race pan on it with an oil cooler. My Pantera has a 10 qt road race pan. Both have oil coolers.

The oil doesn't get changed from mileage. I change it by color change. Simply put, they don't get enough miles put on them for that.

Well it is still good, but it was reformulated and isn't the same thing as in the '70s.

being reingeneered has made the original formula better and you (I) do not add zddp as it contains 1200 +
