<blockquote> I'm wondering if the 17-year-locusts and
the topic of What oil?, subtopic weight, subtopic
synthetic, subtopic ZDDP, both seem to crawl out of
the ground at about the same regularity. The topics
come up, they are beat to death with the same old
myths and old-wives tales, and eventually they go
back to ground, only to arise again several years
later.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, </div>
<div>Here is the beginning, middle, and end of the
gospel.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ZDDP as an additive is only important when an
newly rebuild engine is being broken in.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Synthetic oil is an unnecessary expense.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Oil in old cars should be changed once every
year.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Oil in old cars should be in the 20W50 range.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That's all you need to know. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Oh, Pat Quinn is probably right regarding 30
weight non-detergent oil in Healey transmissions
because of their slightly weird design using a
magnet and a coarse screen in the bottom of the
drain.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And none of the above applies to cars being
raced with rpm routinely over 4000. You and your
mechanics have figured out answers that suit you,
and if your mechanic is older than you are, trust
him.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any other answer is either being promoted by a
manufacturer selling a blend of snake oil,
profiteering, and engine oil or someone who
believes everything they find on the internet
regardless of source or age.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That's it; end of story. Don't make me pull out
the hundreds of references supporting this gospel
because I won't.<br>
