I have 1911 Ford,33 Ford,39, that I use Rotella 15-40 and works very well. My 95 and 06 use the same oil. I should buy Rotella in the 50 gallon barrel at Sams. Been thinking about it lately. I would not use anything else in my antique cars and trucks.
Lots of guys use the Rotella in the older muscle cars and when doing breakin for new cams because it has more zinc and phosphorus for the flat tappet cams. So I wouldn't see a problem on an older car.
