Didn't the list discuss this topic a while ago.
Shell Rotella oils (availble at truck stops) still
has the old additive our cars need.

I saw an episode of Motorweek Sunday that included a segment on  oil
and ZDDP, hosted by Pat Goss with a chemical engineer; I always though  they
were just chemists.    http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/goss/2806.shtml

Today's oil contains about  800 ppm of ZDDP; not enough to break in a flat
tappet motor but OK to run  on.  Racing oil and truck oil have higher amounts
of ZDDP about 1200  ppm.

I think we all need to be aware of these facts and we all need to  be
watchful of any changes to lower these additives yet again by our  fearless,
know it all Congress people.

In real English; I dug ditches for a  Natural Gas company's pipelines  one
summer.
