[DeTomaso] Oil Additives

[Julian Kift]

I have been using Amsoil range of products in all my cars for some time, for the classics the Z-ROD 10/30 or 20/50 saves the guesswork of who's got what level of zinc in their oil which seems to constantly change for off the shelf oil at auto stores.


If you join Amsoil's preferred customer program ($20/yr) you get some good discounts and they often have free shipping.

I bought a ZDDP additive and used it for a couple of years... but then
someone highly knowledgeable (Dan Jones??)  posted a link on the Forum a few
years ago to a study that basically said that this protected your engine
less than a "normal" oil without zddp additive.

I'm afraid I don't remember the details or the reasoning, but the conclusion
I took from the article was that these additives were not a good idea. I
stopped using it 3-4 years ago.

I am thinking of getting 10w40 oil for my Pantera and buying separately
a ZDDP additive. This appears to cost less than oil with ZDDP already
included... and it is available locally.

Has anyone tried this approach? and how well do you think it worked for you.

Thanks
Roydon
