Subject: [Tigers] Motor OIl

Have I been using the wrong motor oil all these years?  Just read several a=
rticles on the net stating that modern motor oils that do not contain enoug=
h ZDDP (zinc) and can cause damage to the cam.  True or False?
What oil (weights and or brands) should be used in our older engines, or sh=
ould we use an  additive to increase the ZDDP?

Thanks
