Question 1969 Camaro V8 350-Royal Purple HPS oil

Hello all,

Has anyone tried this oil on a 1969 Camaro V8 350?
I'm thinking of switching my conventional oil to Royal purple High Performance Street 10w-30 for the "high level of zinc/phosphorus anti-wear additive".

Any thoughts?

I've been using Shell conventional oil since I bought my '69 and I run the crap out of it. It isn't broken yet.

If/when it breaks, it is time for a serious cubic inch upgrade among other things.

I've run Royal Purple HPS with the zinc phosphorus additive in my blown big block for years. No issues or complaints at all, and I don't baby it..LOL. I do run 20W50 though.
