Here's a note to me from a friend in the lube
industry. Nice to know that they are aware of our
problems, even if the solutions aren't quite
available. I think when we beat the drum longly
and loudly on lists like this, and get the
involvement on folks on this list, good things can actually happen.

>Dear ConocoPhillips Lubricants Marketer,
>
>As part of our ongoing commitment to identify
>and provide you, our valued Marketers, with
>products, programs and tools to help you grow
>your business, we are pleased to announce that
>76 High Performance Motor Oil SAE 20W-50,
>Kendall GT-1. High Performance Motor Oil SAE
>20W-50 and Phillips TropArtic. Racing Motor Oil
>20W-50 will be reformulated. The reformulated
>oils will contain a boosted level of zinc
>dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) in order to offer
>enhanced wear protection and oxidation
>resistance for use in the most demanding
>applications. The new formulations will be in
>production in all plants by March 1.
>
>We are confident that the enhanced formulation
>will address concerns within the industry about
>current ILSAC GF-4 and API SM engine oils and
>whether they contain sufficient levels of ZDDP
>to protect older engines, especially
>high-performance engines with flat-tappet
>camshafts. The newly reformulated SAE 20W-50
>viscosity grades of 76 High Performance Motor
>Oil, Kendall GT-1. High Performance Motor Oil
>and Phillips TropArtic. Racing Motor Oil will
>contain approximately 1200 ppm zinc. Higher
>levels of ZDDP, which provide antiwear/antiscuff
>protection as well as oxidation inhibition, can
>help protect these new camshafts during the critical break-in period.
>
>The reformulated SAE 20W-50 viscosity grades
>will continue to provide excellent protection in
>gasoline-fueled competition engines,
>turbocharged engines, and high-performance
>street engines, including those with flat-tappet camshafts.
>
>Please be sure to share this exciting
>reformulation announcement with your customers
>who service high-performance racing engines and
>stay tuned for announcements about the
>availability of this reformulated product.
>Please contact your MSR with any questions.

>Sincerely,
