[6pack] ZDDP again "Answer from STP"

[Lfm614 at aol.com]

Cute, didn't know I had tappats.  You would think it would be on the  label 
since zddp cannot be used on engines with catalytic converters because it  
causes plugging and premature failure and the EPA and car manufacturers that  have 
to warrant them longer would want to know.  Kind of like the peanut  
disclaimer on food for those allergic I would think.
 
Sounds like a blow off from an uninformed marketing person to me.

I  contacted STP regarding their product, which I used.  This is what they  
came back with:

Dear Mr. Fluke,

Thank you for contacting us  about STP Oil Treatment. We always appreciate 
hearing from our  consumers.

I am unable to tell you how much zddp is in the oil  treatment as it is 
proprietary.  There is adequate zddp in both the  red bottle and the blue 
bottle for your tappats.Again, thank you for  contacting us.


Sincerely,
