I've decided to switch from the more conventional dino motor oils to an AMSOIL High Performance synthetic. It costs more, but the oil along with the AMSOIL filter is good for one change a year or 25000 miles whichever comes first.

As for trans oil, AMSOIL also carries this as well, along with many other products good for the older car.

How is the zinc content in Rotella compared to others?
