- 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

- 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 stuf

- Hi John There is a very reasonable article in the Austin Healey Club USA "Magazine" written by Gary Anderson, the article appears on page 10 February 2007. Kind regards Ed

- Hi John, I'm as confused as anyone. The listed results are quite old, considering that oil content & published numbers are changing very rapidly. the published numbers that you quote which are quite

- Dave and all-- When does ZDDP content stop being an issue, if at all? Lots of what we have been pointed to has to do with breaking in cams and tappets, etc. So I wonder two things: 1. How long is the
