To answer your question, it is about choices, availability and dollars. Brad
Penn is great but the 20-50 is a semi-synthetic. They sell a break in oil
and it probably should be used first but who can tell for sure. So I should
buy 8 quarts at $5.00 each, run a weekend and dump it. I replace it with
20W-50 and how long do I leave that in? What if I get a water leak and ruin
the oil. The ability to add ZDDP to otherwise good oil allows for more
options. I used to dump the Valvoline VR1 I used almost every race weekend,
but I can't afford to waste the Brad Penn. Mine is still Green after 3
weekends, just barely and I didn't use the Break-in oil.
