And, isn't all of this crying out for a definitive article from one of our
two magazines, even if the covers get torn and the local mailman reads it
first?

I for one am dizzy reading all of this stuff from the various web sites and
we need something clean and simple.

Help, I'm also confused now regarding Castrol GTX.  The website
http://www.lnengineering.com/oil.html  lists test results on a number of
engine oils including Castrol GTX 20W50.  The test was conducted 11/05 and
The GTX is listed as Type DINO and API SM.  Yet the ZDDP seamed good unless
I don't understand them - P(ppm)=1157 & ZN(ppm)=1422.  These are at a level
of .1157% & .1422% respectively.  Since the tested GTX is listed as API SM,
can I assume that the tested GTX is the most current oil some are saying
does not have sufficient ZDDP levels?  Thanks.
Confused.
Vrooom vrooom,
