FYI, I recently switched from Valvonine VR1 20w-50 to Red Line 10w-40. I've only run 3 full tanks of gas since the switch, but I'm seeing a consistent improvement in fuel economy of over 1.5 MPG. If that is the case, I figure the oil easily pays for itself. I'm not sold on adding anything to the oil. Could be fine, but why risk it? -Darrell On May 14, 2012, at 08:24 AM, "Mack, Michael (Rochester)" <Michael.Mack@redcross.org> wrote: I was planning on using 20w-50 Mobil 1 in my TR8. Then add some of the ZDDP additive that Eastwood sells. Good idea? Flawed idea? Probably cheaper that those expensive Royal Purple or Red Line oils.
