Driven vs rotella

I’ve been using driven 10-40 in my 351c but been considering switching to rotella 15-40.
Which would you choose? Thanks!

Isn't Driven what Bradd Penn used to be ? if so stay with the oil designed for flat tappet gas engines.

Valvoline VR1 is a good choice and easy to find.

Driven is Joe Gibbs,Brad Penn is....Brad Penn. Rotella doesn't have much zinc anymore.Like 440 sez,VR1 is your best choice.

I never had heard of "Driven" oil.

Some few years ago, I bought a bunch of 15w40 DELO 400LE heavy duty truck oil on a commercial promotional sale, bought it for some motorcycles which I no longer have as the high zinc addative package was good for the mc transmissions which shared engine oil, sure helped shift smoothness. I'll do for the '77.
