Re: what type of oil to use for a 4.5
I've been using Chevron Delo 400 LE 15w40 diesel engine oil in my stroker from day one for five years now. It meets API classification SM, and still has a 1300 ppm zinc count. Good for that flat tappet cam.

SHELL Rotella T 15-40 is also one of the recommended high zinc oils suitable for flat tappet engines.
