Surf City Garage
Vintage cars suffer from a lot of abuse in the modern world, new oil being one of them. Many older engines love zinc but new oils don’t generally supply that element, but Surf City Garage has a solution with their Vintage Car Motor Oil. Formulated with a unique blend of conventional base oils and performance additives to help prevent and even correct minor oil leaks, SCG Vintage Car Motor Oil features 2000 PPM zinc for maximum camshaft protection. Further, enhanced detergent and dispersant levels protect against rust and corrosion that can occur during prolonged storage. SCG Vintage Car Motor Oil can also be used to reduce sludge buildup left behind from years of using inferior oils. Available in 10W-40, 20W-50, and SAE 30. www.SurfCityGarage.com 60
