Wow this zzdp is a conversation starter.  I get hi milage hd 10w/40 and a bottle of zzdp additive @  autozone.   I pour almost half the in engine bottle contents in the gas tank when full and balance in engine at oil change.  I don't really know if that is correct and don't advise or advocate this. I drive the mgbgt on local errands year round and occasionally 400 miles round trip to the beach.  The engine has not been apart in over 50,000 miles.  ..Mel
