RE: [Chrysler300] Zinc in Motor Oil

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

The EPA's involvement is to reduce or eliminate zinc in lube oil as it
eventually passes through a cat converter and poisons it-just like lead.
EPA wants a 140,000 mile cat converter instead of an 85,000 mile life-or
something like that.

Ps, I followed the message thread a little, no where did I catch any mention
of the ever changeing EPA requirements having any effect on this topic.


Somewhere amongst the links I have I do seem to recall seeing that the 
EPA is a factor on all this.
