True but they are not available here at a reasonable price.

Actually cheaper than Brad Penn and many others... Please check!

I suspect that oil is for older engines. I am very happy with

Liqui Moly Touring High Tech 20W50. See Data Sheet.

with MoS2 added on top.

Maybe for you. I can get Liqui-Moly here but it costs more than the Brad Penn I can get. Others are more expensive.

Also, FWIW, when I had my top end redone, my mechanic originally put in Total 20W-50 Syn in the car.

I had a lower oil pressure and a VERY high oil consumption. I discussed with him and we agreed to try BP. Pressures were normal (about 10 psi/1000 rpm) and my oil consumption drastically improved.

Thank you everyone! Going BP20W-50!

I've been drinking the Brad Penn koolaid myself for 12 years.

Much better way to go with these older engines? Liqui Moly 20W-50

My 3.2 at 107k miles never felt so smooth with "Liqui Moly 20W-50 Touring High Tech Motor Oil: - Tossed in 2 cans of Liqui Moly Anti-Friction Engine Treatment (shake the cans before putting in the oil)
Just, smooth as silk.... Make the change; you will not regret it.

Only issue is you have a hard time buying them in quarts!

My FLAPS carries LiquiMoly and I switched to it a few years back. Seems to work well with no drama.

Liqui Moly states that their "Touring High Tech 20w50" and their "Formula Super 15w40" both come with a ZDDP content of about 1200 ppm.
