Hi Paul:
Long time, no see. Hope you and your lady are doing well.
There are several of these additives on the market now. They do seem to offer some hope to boost a marginal oil. Based on my conversations with Mr Weiner and Mr Navarone you can get to the same place with one of the "speciality oils" like Brad Penn, SWEPCO, VR-1 etc.
In one way we are lucky in that we use 20W-50 oils that are not required to have lower ZDDP (like the lighter oils). Our task is to find vendors that choose to have enough ZDDP to meet the SAE Recmonnedations for flat tappet engines.
Take care!
