<VV> ZDDP & Max Lead 2000 save motor wear

[Secular]

  This is all related to your old cars Rick -- insofar as your coffee & the 
  irregular outbursts, you "is" the guru !

    Valvoline Synpower Oil Treatment, 15 oz, has about 1700 ppm z and p 
    and moly boron and other goodies. Very nice stuff (if taste change is
    your forte, this is NOT the route to go).

    CD2 High Perf Oil Boost has about 4800 ppm z and p. Also CD2 75K 
    oil additive has about 4000 ppm z and p. (not for home use, as this is 
    an outdoors kinda of trial & error).

    GM EOS is around 8000 ppm z and p (not suitable for a haranguer 
    mindset, could mutate you into a nonviolent Karamchand Gandhi !) 

  Cheers,


  Tony I.
