[Mgs] ZDDP in oil

[Stephen West-fisher]

There have been issues in aircraft engines where the synthetic oil is so
"slippery" that the rings never seat in the cylinders, causing very high oil
consumption. Most manufactures/rebuilders specify a specific oil for the
first hours of operation plus specific operating procedures for the same
reason.

   This whole issue torques my jaws!  I've been building engines for 
more years than I care to remember and never used "break-in oil."
