Has anyone ever heard of this company? Are their oils any good? I've got someone in my circle that's peddling it to all of the vintage car collectors. Claiming it to be an oil (with zinc/ZDDP) best suited for the older cars. I tried to find some reviews online, but there doesn't seem to be much.
Never heard of them. Doesn't mean it isn't good. Is it someone else's product re-packaged? Years ago I liked Kendall GT, now it's called Brad Penn.
I don't use it although I have heard of it... but not much more than that. Looking it up online does also presented limited info. all I could really find was this from a non- Yacco website.: (Copy & Paste: Sorry can't get the link to pop up.) Lane Motor Museum. Website: Citroën 2CV "Yacco" Racer- 1981 As far back as the early 1930s, Citroën teamed with Yacco, an oil company in France, for endurance testing on Citroën automobiles. These cars were tested at Montlhéry, a track outside Paris. The most famous car was a traction avant nicknamed Petite Rosalie which spent 134 days on the track in 1934 covering close to 200,000 miles at an average speed of 57.8 miles per hour. By 1950, Citroën introduced the ever popular 2CV. The Yacco Special 2CV which you see here is a (right hand drive) replica of a record breaker in the tradition of the earlier endurance testing. Sponsored again by Yacco, a production car was chopped, lightened, lowered, and shortened to compete in the 1953 Bol dor Race at Montlhéry. The Barbot Special succeeded in breaking nine international recordstwo of which were 12 hours at 90.9 kph (56.5 mph) and 24 hours at 85 kph (52.8 mph).

Use a nice synthetic 5-40 oil for turbocharged diesels. Far more robust additive package. More cleaners and anti-war ingredients. Mobil 1 and the less expensive Rotella t6 are far better than car oils. Bruce
