Your best bet may be Maxlife Synthetic. Since it is a high mileage oil it should be good for the seals. Also has nice additive package, including about 290 ppm moly, and still has SL levels of zinc and phosphorus. Maxlife Synthetic meets ACEA A3, a tough European standard that is more significant than starburst or SL/SM, and has a high temperature/high sheer viscosity of 3.6.

Are you taling about engines with cast iron blocks? I've never heard of an "fe" motor.

EDIT: I found the answer online; it's too long to post here, & has nothing to do with cast iron blocks. stupid me.
