Chuckle.  Something wrong with "the average LBC"?  My MGA fairly 
often does 500 miles in a single day.  385,000 miles and 
counting.  So far I do not worry about ZDDP, except during a new cam 
break in period.  I run NAPA 20W50 in summer and 10W40 in 
winter.  Current engine has 75,000 miles, going strong, never had the 
bottom end apart.
