<p class="MsoNormal">The real question is will your MG keep
synthetic inside. My experience is</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">that synthetic leaks more than dino juice,
somewhat due to lower viscosity.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Don't worry about the ZDDP if your engine
is anywhere near stock, the</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">current spec is very close to what early
'60s and older oils had in them.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For engines designed in the late '60
(designed - not built) there could be</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">an issue with the current spec, but even
that is questionable. For a '57</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">MGA, the engine is, shall we say, somewhat
agricultural.</p>
