I drive an MG that leaks worse than any Corvair I ever owned.  I can't
afford to run Castrol Syntec on to the ground!

Hi All,
More fuel for the fire...ok that was "crude" humor (hehe).
Below is a response I received from Castrol in response to my inquiry
regarding ZDDP levels.

*Thank you for contacting Castrol,*

The latest API SM/ILSAC GF-4 category calls for reduced Zinc and Phosphorus
levels to allow extended catalyst life in current model vehicles. There
appear to be field issues associated with the SM/GF-4 oil's level of
antiwear in the classic car engines known as flat tappet cam engines.  The
current late model passenger car engines are not flat tappet cam engines and
have no reported field issues related to the level of antiwear chemistry in
the SM/GF-4 oils.
