ZDDPlus - Some background and technical information:
Its a well known fact among engine rebuilders and mechanics,
that older engines (especially performance engines) prior to 1988,
that have flat tappet setups, require a well-known oil additive called "ZDDP".
The additive is made up of Phosphorous, Sulfur, and Zinc.
By using the proper amount of these three chemicals, it makes ZDDP.
This additive has been the most effective extreme pressure additive
found in quality motor oil for almost 70 years.
ZDDP is a "surface modifier". It modifies bearing and journal surface
characteristics, to prevent metal-to-metal contact.
Under the right conditions of heat and pressure,
the zinc in the ZDDP actually plates over the contact surface
and provides a sacrificial coating. As it breaks down, it dissipates back into
the oil solution and remains in suspension until the right conditions
arise and the process starts over again. This reduces the tendency of parts
to scuff and gall under heavy-loaded boundary lubrication situations.
Older cars with flat tappet design camshafts and lifters found
in the high-performance engines, definitely fit this category due to
high velocities and accelerations required to open and close valves
may times per second. This condition is also found in the piston wrist pins.
In other words, this description clearly fits the characteristics of the
older engines (1988 and earlier).

Normal amounts of ZDDP was in the oil in 1988. The API grade SG oils was in excess of 0.12%.
The API grade of oil prior to this was SF, and had the concentrations in excess of 0.15%.
Until recently it was possible to buy from GM "EOS" which came in a 16 ounce bottle.
This product is no longer available from GM.
In recent years the EPA has required new car automotive manufacturers
to guarantee catalytic converters for over 100,000 miles.
The use of the additive ZDDP would most likely void new car warranties.
Newer cars have roller rocker assemblies, and do not need ZDDP in the motor
oil for protection. Two main reasons the percentages of ZDDP have gradually
decreased as each new oil category has been introduced.
There are still some single-weight racing oils that contain various amounts
of ZDDP which is better than nothing. However, being a single weight oil is not the
proper oil for many street driven high performance cars. The percentage of ZDDP in
these special racing oils do not contain the proper concentration that was
found back in 1988 oils under the SF category. Diesel oils are not the answer either,
as they have additional detergents required for soot contol, and actually reduce the
effectiveness of added levels of ZDDP found in diesel oils.
They also have higher bearing clearance that calls for higher viscosity oils.
Our source for this new product has made it quite simple.
The proper concentration based on what was available in motor oils under
the SF designation was 0.15% content. We have it available in a four ounce bottle.
In each bottle is the proper amount of ZDDP which is 2.2 ounces,
the balance of the bottle, 1.8 ounces is regular motor oil. This concentration of
ZDDPlus in the 4-ounce bottle will properly treat any four or five quart oil capacity
providing the engine protection you need. This makes it match what was originally
in the motor oil available in 1988 (SF category). It will work with any motor oil you are
currently using including the synthetics. It is a sacrifical additive -  meaning in the process
of it working, it is depleted. It should last the life of a normal oil change.

More information on this important subject can be found on the internet.
Simply type in ZDDP and any car model you desire.
Most car models in the various forums have had a lot of discussion on this problem.
Keep in mind the cars affected are now over twenty years old,
so it is a smaller segment of the market than the current cars on the road today.
Besides that, it is the high performance car owner and classic car owner,
that would be most interested in keeping their engine from suffering any internal
problems due to lack of proper lubrication. Our packaging in the handy four ounce
bottle makes it easy to treat any 4-5 quart oil capacity engine.
A small price to pay for peace of mind.
The market for this product is huge since every older performance car
regardless of what make it is needs the proper concentration of ZDDP in its oil.
If you own either an older performance car or a classic car, its critical to use this with
every oil change to protect the extreme pressure points in your engine.
The company behind this project is a major company and among his holdings,
he personally owns one of the thirteen accredited forensic DNA labs in the country.
All the proper testing has been done on what is now available,
and none have the concentration of ZDDP found in our 4-ounce bottle.
We urge you to get the word out to the various different automotive forums and friends
who have older performance cars or classic cars about this product.
If they are using just current motor oils, the damage to their engines is irreversible.
Only UPS ground is available for shipping.  .
There is no limit as to how many bottles you can buy.
Orders can be placed online, or by phone: 1-800-677-4463.

You need to decide - is it worth the $10 gamble to protect your engine?
If you require further proof, simply look at the oil category shown on
your oil cap or in your cars owners manual. While it is true oils have improved,
the downside is levels of ZDDP have been reduced.
The concentration of ZDDPlus matches what was in oil under under the SF classification.

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
After the SF category, the amounts of ZDDP has gradually been reduced
as each new AFI category was introduced.
Had ZDDP been removed completely after the SF category,
there would have been a mad scramble for an alternative product,
or a huge demand for the SF oil. But, since the concentration of ZDDP has changed gradually,
the concerns were not known or expressed.
Today, because of the access to the internet where information is instantly available,
car owners can now become quickly informed.
We do not make any claims except that it restores the EP (extreme pressure)
function of the oil to the level originally required for your older car.
With the new SM category oil now in the market place, the amounts of the chemicals that
make up ZDDP are no where near what they were in 1988 - meaning old cars equipped
with flat tappet cams are at risk to damage.
