[DeTomaso] ZDDP Oil additive at Eastwood

[Dave Londry]

Just to stir it up a bit more - this a the line from the Mobil 1 
standard product summary chart.

Mobil 1 15W-50 - Boosted, higher viscosity, fully synthetic formula 
designed for performance vehicles
                           - HT/HS applications.
                           - Racing and Flat tappet applications.
                           - SM approval
                           - Phosphorous 1200ppm

Which seems easier to find and less trouble to manage than Rotilla + 
ZDDP anyway.
