Hey Ray, I've read that the moly in the cam lubes interfere in the
long term with zddp and that too much zddp causes oxidation.
I go back to my original claim of just using cheap oil. If you look
at a container of Advanced Auto brand oil it says they meet the older
SJ API standard and not the newer SM class of oils.
