<VV> Fw: Rotella Ask Our Expert: Other

[BBRT]

Hank, Check out the Brad Penn oil which is the old green oil from the Kendal 
Refinery on Kendal street...in Bradford PA.  This stuff has the additives 
and is the good formulation for flat tappet engines. They also make a 
semi-synthetic. They can be found on the net.
