i've been saying this for like 10 years now, its not all about zddp levels & adding unknown amounts in an additive to unknown amounts in the oil is a complete waste of money. todays oils are far more advanced than the oil was when the whole ZDDP thing started about 10-15 years ago, modern additives are far better or at least equal to outdated zddp. in the 1950-60's zddp was the answer to extreme pressure cam wear back then with the technology they had at the time, but as with anything technology advances & usually for the better.
hopefully this thread & a couple other recent oil related ones will help people to stop drinking the zddp kool-aid.
