- In about October last year, we talked a bit about the reduced level of the additive ZDDP in non-synthetic oils. There seems to be more experience building about the risk of very premature wear on cam

- Thanks for that, Randall, and others. An interesting counterpoint that was not in the article I read, for obvious reasons ;-). I got an answer from Castrol tech support which suggests the issue *may*

- They may have a point. The GF- ratings are for cars with catalytic converters, and limit the amount of various substances, including zinc, that can be in the oil. I'm suspicious of that statement ..
