Mark, there was a thread here not too long ago where someone was using Brad
Penn oil and he gave the PPM and it was acceptable. Or you can get the
Amsoil 10-40, which also has the higher ZDDP.

In my book I've decided just to use Mobil 1 and put in the additive. Its
just easier to go to Wally's world for the oil and filter (I have an
adapter) and have Clarks send me a couple bottles of the ZDDP every so
often, I'm buying parts from them all the time anyway.

I did a lot of searching a year ago and a Shell rep told me the Rotella T
full synthetic was OK, which it was, then they stopped producing it that
way! So, since the oil companies don't tell you what they are doing, the
ZDDP additive is a sure thing with a good synthetic oil!  Mark Durham
