Re: Camshaft type?
Castrol, Valvoline, they make specific racing oils, synthetic is ok after break in. Shell Rotella Diesel 15-40 is also rated API SL, and has a good anti- wear package as I said.

Re: Camshaft type?
Sorry to bring this up again, but i got a question about anti wear packages.
I was looking around Amsoil site and found a synthetic 20w-50 racing oil. As a990 said racing oils still have additives. amsoil said they have anti wear in this oil, and mentioned cams. and they said it has these packacges

Re: Camshaft type?
CI-4 is a diesel engine rating. You will find this on the newer diesel oils such as Rotella-T, Delo etc.

Re: Camshaft type?
Sure.
I am now running Shell Rotella-T in my car. It's cheaper than the Castrol it replaced and it has the proper antiwear additives.

Keep in mind that my engine has 271,000 miles on it now ... When I built it in 1993, I broke it in on straight 30 oil for 2,000 miles, then went 20w50, Castrol or Valvoline (mostly Castrol) from that point up to around Thanksgiving when I filled it with 15w40 Rotella.
