    Or Valvoline VR1.  If your running flat tappet cam you need zinc.

    Everybody thanks a lot!
    If I understand correctly mineral oil is better than synthetic?

    no , synthetic is better but it has to have enough ZDDP content if you are using a flat tappet cam .
    With a full roller cam system other oils will work

    Mobil 1 15W50 has the high ZDDP, and Castrol Edge Syntec 5W50 (marked on the label Specially formulated for Classic Cars) as well. Both full synthetic oils. Also have some VR1 Valvoline Dino Oil on hand too.

    Sometimes that's all I can find where I live.
