What's the best oil to use in a 1997 Chimaera, mineral Mobile 1, or a good quality semi synthetic?

Also, recently I was told to use a zinc additive in the oil on low useage V8's, which coats the cam etc, and reduces wear; Anyone have any comments on this?

i was advised by my engine restorer that i should use valvoline oil as it is one of the few that have zinc in it and that would help the engine generally

i buy online and delivered by courier

perhaps others will have other opinions
