Years ago, car manufactures wanted to get 200K on catalyst converters, HOWEVEVR this was not achievable with zinc in the engine oils, (ZINC CLOGS CONVERTERS OVER TIME) that's why most oils use other additives other than zinc. If you purchase (for instance) Mobil 1 High mileage, it contains zinc, so do other high end synthetic oils. I use the ZDDP additive in all my Turbo 3.8 V6's, its truly worth the coin for the added protection. I use the High mileage Mobil 1 AND the zinc additive, best of both worlds!I have been trying to find the best oil for my 3.8 v6, should I be using an additive for zddp? is it really necessary?
That additive is fine, I'm not a fan of Pennzoil because they use a wax base additive, not a fan.https://rislone.com/ca/product/rislone-hy-per-lube-zddp-supplement-34405/
Could I use something like this and just normal 5w-30 conventional like Pennzoil?
I thought I read they had drastically reduced the zinc in Rotella several years ago?
In Rotella and almost every other too....high mileage synthetics have the most zinc.I thought I read they had drastically reduced the zinc in Rotella several years ago?
