I need to change the oil in my recently acquired '86 Fifth Ave. I understand that roller lifter motors don't require oils with a high ZDDP content. I believe Chrysler went to roller lifters in the 318 in 1985. However, it's probably had oil in it with a high ZDDP content for most of it's life, just for the simple reason that oils had ZDDP up until recently. Should I go with Valvoline VR1? Is it necessary for an '86 318? I know it is for older motors with flat tappets, so I do use a high ZDDP oil for my two older Plymouths. I just want to know what's best for my car.
