[Bmcu] ZDDP One More Time, Maybe?

[Rob McNair]

FYI, 

I tried the small bottles of ZDDP additive and found it didn't play well with the engine oil I was using.
It coagulated on the bottom of the oil pan.
I then went to Valvoline 20W-50 VR1 Racing Oil, which has a ZDDP in it, but I'm not sure how much.
After reading all the emails regarding ZDDP I did a bit of research and found some information on the Lucas Oil Products site.


     They have a Hot Rod & Classic Car Motor Oil that comes in 20W-50, 10W-40, & 10W-30 ($25.95 to 27.95 for a 5 qt. bottle at Summit Racing)

      Cut and pasted from the Lucas site:
      Available in convenient 5 quart bottles, the formulation is perfect for the Hot Rod and Classic Car crowd with an increased zinc value of 2100 PPM. Because many of these very special machines often spend long periods (winter for example in some parts of the country) off the roads, a number of the components of the additive package used in Lucas' Marine oils to provide rust and corrosion protection have been included in its unique formula.  Lucas Hot Rod & Classic Car Motor Oil SAE 20W-50 is manufactured with the highest quality paraffinic base oils and is fortified with a unique additive package containing high levels of zinc, molybdenum and phosphorus, which provides a tougher, thicker additive film for maximum protection even under the most severe conditions. It lowers oil temperatures, extends oil life and minimizes metal fatigue. It improves the film strength between the cylinder wall and piston rings and slows oil burning and improves pressure in worn engines. It has good cold temperature properties and stands up to high operating temperatures. It is compatible with methanol and all racing fuels, as well as with synthetic and non-synthetic oils.

      Lucas Hot Rod & Classic Car Motor Oil SAE 20W-50 is for muscle, showroom, classic and trophy cars without catalytic converters. It can be used in racing applications. Not recommended for passenger car use.
