Let's assume that Brad Penn and Joe Gibbs are roughly equal and better than standard
oil for infrequently used cars because of their
zinc content. Does the use of one of those oils do the trick for a car that is only started once per month, or would a pre oiler/accumulator provide any "dry start" benefits?
