Is there any Chemist here, that can do a write up procedure to make a zinc additive for the cheap oils at the auto-parts store? My Castro GTX oil seems to be lacking zinc these days, and I really don't want to spend 20 bucks on the additive.

Perhaps, but one would never know unless asked. I have been a Castrol man for many many years and for me it would be hard to jump ship to a different brand. I have full access to the University's Lab and provided a equation with a good forward rxn that provides a good yield, why not? If I could produce a gallon of this stuff, it may be worth it. In addition, there is a cool factor for making your own. Money really isn't the issue here, its more about the EPA being a bitch and putting further restraints on oil company's.
