When we raced the Grocery Getter and Boss Bird, we were sponsored by Valvoline. One of the cool things about that was we were assigned a senior chemical engineer at Ashland Oil, (parent company) to work with us. He did mention more than once the CORRECT amount of ZDDP was the important factor in engine wear, not just putting a huge amount in there. He wanted us to run their production lubricants, although he was willing to custom blend race oils for us if needed. It never was. In the little article, I like the statement about running the correct oil for the application. But in reality, with most of our Pontiacs, the miles they are driven, and the fairly low load and RPM they see, any quality oil, kept clean and changed will work just fine after break-in. JMO
