[Healeys] More on ZDDP

[Healey Bruce]

I found it interesting that Castrol says on their website that their Syntec 
(the non-API SM rated version) is fine for break in period, but Red Line 
still recommends mineral based oil, at least for the first 1000-1500 miles. 
I have 2000 miles on my engine, so I called Red Line.  I spoke with Dave (as 
I recall), who advised that I would be fine at 2000 miles to use Red Line 
synthetic.
