I have always run 20/50 vr1 - Just recently I found that Lucas hot rod oil has a lot more zinc, next oil change I am going to try Lucas.

   Be careful , too much is as bad as not enough. The excess ends up as a film on the bottom of the pan.

Thanks to all that have responded.

I have been using a ZDDP additive on all 3 of my cars, with 3 different viscosities that they require. 10W30 in the GT350, 10W40 in the L-72 and 20W50 in the Duetto. 

I know easier is not always better.... maybe I should just stick to what I have been doing in the past.

checkout joe gibbs driven oil. adding zddp is not always better than having it already in the formula.
