<div class="">I agree with Charley… I did that for a while but it was inconvenient, and
once I found a proper oil it was pointless.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Consider, if you have to top off your oil by adding a quart between changes
(as is common), are you also adding the exact proportional amount of your
additive? It’s just impractical to deal with on a regular basis. There is
nothing magical about Castrol 20W50.</div>

<div class="">There was a great deal of discussion here regarding the use of
different oil to compensate for the lack of ZDDP in oil these days. I
didn’t see anyone include a discussion of the practice of adding ZDDP to oil
that is lacking in it. There are several sources where it is available
and I have availed myself of it and added it to my Castrol 20-50 when
I change the oil in my 80 MGBLE. </div>
<div class="">Is there a problem in doing this in lieu of using Valvoline Racing Oil
say? </div>
