I was talking to a non Porsche engine building /machine shop yesterday and he told me new oil formulation regulations means we need to add zinc additive in older cars
Any one out there have knowledge ( versus opinion) on this. I use Brad Penn but he seemed to indicate this is industry wide. He was not trying to sell me anything |

You can put a zoinc booster additive (ZDDP) in the engine, but you really need to look for an oil with high levels of zinc in it already. its been discussed on World before so do a search. |
