84 oil change
84 with 84k miles. I have been reading that I need oil with zink added.
With the miles and age of the car should I stick with 10w30 or go to a heavier weight oil?

You are right about the zinc. Brad Penn and Joe Gibbs are two oils with increased zinc. Some owners will use additives. If you're not burning oil, 10-30 should be fine.

As far as I know, zinc is good in ALL engines due to its ability to hold lubrication on dead-spots, and fill them in before any wear takes place.
I will read that link now, thank you.
