Lake Speed Junior ‘The Motor Oil Geek’ seems to have great insights into oils and lubrication. Apparently high calcium detergent levels reduce the effectiveness of the ZDDP. Latest theory is SP grade oils with less calcium require less zinc and get better wear characteristics. I’m not sure I’m ready to test the theory out on my newly rebuilt aircooled engine, but I watch with interest.
