Wow this zzdp is a conversation starter. I get hi milage hd 10w/40 and a
bottle of zzdp additive @ autozone. I pour almost half the in engine bottle
contents in the gas tank when full and balance in engine at oil change. I
don't really know if that is correct and don't advise or advocate this. I drive
the mgbgt on local errands year round and occasionally 400 miles round trip to
the beach. The engine has not been apart in over 50,000 miles. ..Mel
