classic cars and racing applications. ZDDP ppm tends to increase with the
demands on the engine. They suggest 2100 ppm for classic cars. A few easy miles
per year would suggest a lower ZDDP and higher miles and/or if the engine is
working harder then a higher ZDDP level.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>I noticed something interesting/odd--'interestingly odd?'--the other day
at 'my' Costco: They no longer carried any non-synthetic oil besides Shell
Rotella. Along with the usual Mobil 1, they offered 'Kirkland Synthetic'
in the lighter grades (0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30, 10W30).<BR><BR>There may come a
day we can no longer get plain 'dino' oil, esp. in the lighter

<DIV>I have a variety of other cars, air cooled, water cooled and tracked

<DIV>I always change filters on every oil change and open to inspect Them.
Last year I found plastic and shavings in my track car oil filter so had new

<DIV>Interested to see that you feel it necessary to add additional zinc.
VR1 already has 1300 ppm ?<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Is there a consensus on what amount is actually needed? Think that
you can have too much too ?<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Am a VR1 user but don't add anything.<BR></DIV>
