    Z-Rod recommendation
    By  Arnold,  a  Verified Buyer  from  MI  on  January 23, 2023
    I have been using the Z-ROD 10w-30 oil in my 1969 Mustang/351Windsor for several years and it keeps the engine very clean and gets good oil pressure in excessive heat at highway speeds. I am switching to the 10W-40 this spring because I'm doing more extended traveling miles and tend to run over 100 miles at 65+ mph before I give it a break.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
