<div dir="ltr">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.<div><br></div><div>BR,</div><div><br></div><div>Don</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 10, 2018 at 3:47 AM, John Macartney <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:john.macartney@ukpips.org.uk" target="_blank">john.macartney@ukpips.org.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-GB" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72"><div class="m_-4724153261444569364WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span>I think it’s important to mention that while a lot of people on this list live in the US and Canada, there are more than just a few who live elsewhere – i.e. Europe and Australia/New Zealand. AFAIK, many lubricants in those countries differ in specification to those commonly available in North America. Additionally, it seems that those outside N.A. prefer to use ‘classic’ oils which are blended specifically for the classic car market and while they do include a number of lubricant ‘enhancers’ to improve oil performance. I refer particularly to 20/50 type mineral oils and these do not need ZDDP.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Jonmac<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> Triumphs <<a href="mailto:triumphs-bounces@autox.team.net" target="_blank">triumphs-bounces@autox.team.<wbr>net</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Paul Dorsey<br><b>Sent:</b> 09 September 2018 21:22<br><b>To:</b> Triumph list Team.net <<a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net" target="_blank">triumphs@autox.team.net</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [TR] ZSounds like most forgot something about the DDP?<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><b><span style="font-size:19.0pt;font-family:".SFUIText-Semibold",serif;color:#454545"> </span></b><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:".SF UI Text",serif;color:#454545"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-stretch:normal;min-height:22.7px"><b><span style="font-size:19.0pt;font-family:".SFUIText-Semibold",serif;color:#454545"> </span></b><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:".SF UI Text",serif;color:#454545"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-stretch:normal"><b><span style="font-size:19.0pt;font-family:".SFUIText-Semibold",serif;color:#454545">ZDDPlus Engine Oil Additive</span></b><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:".SF UI Text",serif;color:#454545"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-stretch:normal"><b><span style="font-size:19.0pt;font-family:".SFUIText-Semibold",serif;color:#454545">After 70+ years of trouble-free, metal to metal engine protection, the E.P.A. is forcing ZDDP (Zinc Dialkyl Dithio Phosphate = Zinc and Phosphorus) out</span></b><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:".SF UI Text",serif;color:#454545"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-stretch:normal"><b><span style="font-size:19.0pt;font-family:".SFUIText-Semibold",serif;color:#454545">of domestic motor oil.
