Yes, that would be the good summary article by Editor Gary Anderson in the 
February issue of Austin Healey Magazine.  However, one of the oils 
recommended in the article that I've been using for years is Castrol GTX, 
which several people have mentioned on the List the past few days as no 
longer containing adequate levels of ZDDP for our cars since it is now 
listed as an "API SM" oil.  Still confused.
Vroom vroom,
John
