Something that is not intuitively obvious is that the Mobil racing oil in 0W-50, like Morris uses, has among the highest ZDDP levels of any oil you can buy today. I believe the numbers are 1300 ppm possibly higher. This is very good for flat tappet cams and lifters.

Most of the oils once you get to the 0W-50 threshold will have higher ZDDP levels. FWIW (and it could be a lot) Mobil 1 seems to be the highest. Castrol used to offer a 0W-60 high zinc oil for super car applications but I haven't seen it for a while so the 0W-50 oils (especially Mobil 1) get the nod.

If you want to be certain research their zinc levels before buying. If the 50 and 60 weight viscosities leaves you a little timid, Mobil 1 also has a 0W-30 Racing oil with the same zinc levels in it.
