Just say no to oil additives. If the oil needed them the oil manufacturer would have added them at blending.

I ran ZDDP additive in my 575sci with flat tappet cam. I used it with 15/40 rotella and never had a cam issue. Running 10psi boost I changed the oil a lot due to fuel dilusion and could not see spending money on synthetics or racing oil of any type. Oil pressure was always rock solid.

I am a fan of Lucas Oil Products, but I don't use it to extend my oil changes. I put the appropriate Lucas oil in anything with an oil pump.
