[6pack] Oil additive UPDATE

[Gary Fluke]

If this topic has already been beaten to death, I apologize.  I have learned 
that the product designation would have been EOSZDDP, and the additive that 
is desired is a zinc compound.

I found an STP oil additive at the local auto parts store that has ZDDP in 
it and have added it to the oil I changed today after starting the TR for 
the first time this year.  Then, after washing and vacuuming the car, it 
started to rain and the weather here in the Pacific Northwest will continue 
to be unseasonably cold and wet.  So, no drive for me today after all.
