[TR] ZSounds like most forgot something about the DDP?

[Don Hiscock]

Dunno about that, John, with all due respect.  I've been part of a number
of discussions on the TR Register (UK) forum, where I spend a lot more TR
time than anywhere else, and there are numerous threads with comments by
folks who know TR engines and oil very well (including one who's built and
raced a national champion TR4) who use UK-sourced oils with ZDDP.  Classic
Oils is one brand among several that come to mind, and folks in the UK have
appreciated the clarity with which that company discusses Zn levels -- not
all suppliers are so forthcoming, nor as trusted.

BR,

Don
