I have always used ordinary conventional engine oil from a well known =
refiner plus ZDDP additive. In the past 10 years have mainly used =
Rotella because it still had ZDDP additive. However, Shell has reduced =
the amount of ZDDP additive so I increased my amount of additive. 2 =
years ago my engine was getting tired at 67,000 miles and I had the =
opportunity to have the engine rebuilt. After we took it apart it was =
sent to the local machine shop. Lamont indicated that the engine was in =
excellent condition with all parts within specifications including =
crank, cam, valves, etc. He said someone took very good care to keep the =
engine running with good oil, and changing it regularly. However, the =
cylinders were in need of .20 over which is not unusual for the age of =
the block and the crank was cleaned and polished It was reassembled =
with the same major parts and runs very nicely. =20
=20
I have not believed in buying high priced specialty oils for our engines =
or gear boxes when good old DINO or Conventional oil is good for them, =
of course, with an ZDDP additive.
=20
I have used the same ZDDP additive for years because the distributor I =
knew always had it in stock. When he went out of business, I bought his =
stock. The directions are simple add 5 oz. to a 4 cylinder engine so I =
used 7 oz. for our big 6 cylinder engine and at every oil change. I am =
using the last bottle of the additive now and will have to switch to =
another brand additive in the future.
=20
On the other hand, in my original transmission, the conventional oil was =
recently changed to Red Line MT-90. Will see if there is a difference in =
10 or 20 years.

Hello,
=20
Tagging on to Michael's comment on ZDDP in oils, what additives do folks =
tend to use in their oils. Products like Red Line's "Engine oil beak-in =
additive" or something from NAPA, etc.?

Having seen worn cams and pitted tappets, there is a desire to keep that =
sort of wear from happening as best as one can.
