[QUOTE="spalkin, post: 496376, member: 9112"] It's true all motor oils have some Zinc. It's the absolute last defense against metal to metal contact. That is, when all else fails, like when an engine sits for months without running, or is run so severely that the oil begins to break down, the zinc is there to protect you. This is why you should never run Slick 50® or Dura-Lube® etc. It upsets the zinc and makes the oil less effective Here's a crazy page [URL="https://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/snakeoil.htm"]CLICK[/URL] [/QUOTE]
