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 |

Just look for oils in the 1100-1500 ppm range.
Which one to use is a can of personal taste worms with a pinch of hype. I use a diesel oil that's cheap enough to change often. |
