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! 
 
Not so fast there......
 
The API spends thousands of dollars creating oil specifications to meet all 
 automotive oil applications. Then the oil companies spend millions to meet 
these  specifications, all so you the consumer can buy your oil with 
knowledge and  confidence. E.g.,, SM or SL references.
 
Now you are proposing that this is all wasted money and you can do better  
by adding an unknown amount of an unknown chemical to your oil and achieve 
the  same or better results.
