[DeTomaso] ZDDP zinc oil additive

[Doug Braun]

Jim,

	Aren't you forgetting another advantage to synthetic oil which is its
ability to remain stable and perform at higher temperatures than
conventional dino oil.  This is very important for blown, turbo'd, track day
and ORR guys.

Yes, 1200 is enough.

"synthetic" means the actual oil component is partially synthesized.? ZDDP
is an additive which must be added no matter what kind of actual oil
component is present

On the bobistheoilguy.com site the experts say that other components (I
believe moly and calcium) can also work in a manner similar to zinc, but
they must not be as good or as cheap or we wouldn't still be seeing ZDDP in
oils.

the only indisputable advantage of synthetic oils is that they flow better
when cold.? Most oil has to be changed because it gets dirty, and synthetics
will get just as dirty as dinos.
