Has anyone had any experience with some of the ZDDP additives that they sell ? My 58 Plymouth has a low compression 318. I like to use regular 10W-40. Would the lack of ZDDP have as serious effect on my LC engine as it would on a 392 or 413 HC engine ? If so, I'd like to use an additive in lieu of putting 20w50 in my car.
