Or, you could go to the Ohio Distributor of Penn Grade oils who make various 
blends and racing oils, along with a semi-synthetic and buy it for market 
prices....  As I have mentioned before, it is made by the American Refining 
Group, on N. Kendall Ave, in Bradford,  PA. This is the original green oil 
used by racers-was Kendall GT. They sold that business to the employees.

Their representative at the Performance Industry Trade Show in Orlando 
earlier this month said major cam companies have recommended their oil for 
use and especially breaking. He mentioned some by name. I suspect if you go 
to their web site, you can find whatever testimonials/endorsements they 
have.

I have talked with their Regional Sales Representative, Nick Dixon, who has 
tentatively promised a presentation at the Performance Workshop in your 
town, Dayton, OH, on 23 Feb 2008, along with handouts, favors, door prizes, 
oil product for sale at prices discounted from the normally competitive 
prices as sold in your FLAPS. Jim Dallas is working this out with Nick.

I'll bet you that the local guys buy the stuff from Penn Grade...

No, I don't work for them, or receive compensation, but  their OIL is good 
stuff.

All,

With all of the discussion about modern motor oils in the last year or so, I 
thought I'd mention this.

A couple of weeks ago there was an article in our local newspaper (Dayton 
Ohio) about a local fellow fed up with the lack of motor oils suitable for 
his old cars.  So he and a partner found a refinery which would make the 
blend he wanted (0.125% zinc and phosphorous), and they started selling it. 
It is only sold in gallon jugs and costs $14.50.  Since September, he's sold 
about 4000 gallons of it.  Currently they make 15w40 and are talking about 
20w50.  Here is a link to the story that appeared in the paper

The contact info is think-zinc at motorheadoil.com or 937-254-2673 if anyone is 
interested.  There is not a functional web site.  I have not been by the 
shop to check it out, nor have I bought any for my cars yet - but I'm 
seriously considering it.
