[Fot] isky oil recommendations

6795 ppm?
Crikey!!!  That's a lot of zddp! There must be something with the JR
Dragster engines that needs a ton of it!

My understanding is that when it comes to ZDDP;  more than enough is a bad
thing!

In addition, a true break in oil has ZDDP that breaks down faster than in a
regular race oil.  All ZDDP is not created equal.

For what it's worth, I've had great luck with the Driven BR and GP1 series
of break in oils, along with the PennGrade break in oils in Triumph racing
and street engines.
