We have been over this 10 million frigging times now. The ****ing horse is dead, it's been dead, stop ****ing kicking it.

Again its really nauseating. The whole world is sick of hearing it

When did we say high doses are needed for your average car ???



Let me make sure I am clear to those who matter.

- We understand the average car does not need a high (1200 PPM and above) ZDDP, we are not implying your 350HP Evo will fall apart if you use less than X level of ZDDP.
- We don't necessarily say that high levels of ZDDP are necessary for the average Evo running 400whp. The guys running higher horsepower prefer the higher ZDDP around 1400 PPM. While this info is not targeted at a specific group it is general info.
- You need some level of ZDDP and in todays OILs that could be 750-900 PPM. I still personally think 600 PPM is to low.
NOTE= We don't recommend adding ZDDP to an already formulated OIL.

The job of ZDDP is to provide a film between sliding metal surfaces (EP Anti-wear), anti oxidation (prevents rust, but this part has been replaced in todays OILs by other additives because the levels of ZDDP have been reduced)

Here's my solution:

Apagan1: Please post Amsoil related info, benefits, etc in the vendor sections as we talked about, not the tech sections. Evo General is for tech for owners, repair, questions, etc.
At the end of the day, this is tech section, not a section to lead to sales. It just doesn't belong here, and we get too many complaints. Please use Vendor Announcements.

gsrboi80: Please stay out of apagan1's threads in the FS sections.


Thanks!
