Got this while I was at Vegas where we discussed the need for zddp additive
for flat tappet engines. I have no financial connection to this company!

Over the past 20 years, unknown by most, motor oil manufacturers have been
incrementally reducing the amount of a major component in motor oil. The
reason behind this is to keep our air clean by increasing the life expectancy of
catalytic converters in new cars up to 100,000 miles or more. That is
fine, but what about cars without catalytic converters?
The oil component in question is ZDDP *. This oil additive has been used
in motor oil for almost 70 years to handle areas of extreme pressure like flat
tappets and camshafts, wrist pins, pushrod ends, rings and so forth. Car
manufacturers have tried to address this in newer engines by using roller
lifters and re-engineering other areas of extreme pressure.
Older engines (pre mid 1990s) using the new oil formulations are not fully
protected as they have been in years past. About 3 years ago engine builders
noticed a marked increase in engine failures. One engine builder said that
he experienced more engine failures in 3 years than he had in the last 30
years. A search began to find out the cause and they discovered that the oil
formulation had been changed. In 2005 the level of ZDDP in motor oils had been
dropped to below the minimum level recommended by automotive engineers.
See our website at _http://www.zddpoiladditive.com/_
(http://www.zddpoiladditive.com/) for links to articles by Hot Rod magazine, High Performance
Pontiac, Comp Cams, American Engine Rebuilders Association and others that discuss
the problem. Or search for "ZDDP" in Google to see the thousands of
discussions and articles.
Once the problem was understood, alternative solutions began cropping up.
These included using diesel engine oil and racing oil. However, both of these
have their shortcomings when used as the motor oil in a street driven
gasoline engine. Oils for diesels are designed for engines with different bearing
clearances, different viscosity needs, and are very high in detergents.
Racing oils are very expensive and are not designed for long term use and do not
usually come in the viscosities needed for a regularly driven vehicle.
Our new product ZDDPlus was created by car enthusiasts for car enthusiasts.
Now the answer to the problem is simple, just replace the ZDDP in your
favorite brand name oil by adding one 4 ounce bottle of ZDDPlus at each oil change.
Instead of guessing that you have the correct level of protection, ZDDPlus
ensures that you have the correct level of protection. For approximately
$10.00 per oil change it is cheap insurance. ZDDPlus was created to fill the
needs of collector car owners.

We recently talked to an old friend who we had not talked to in some time. He
