Reply to "Good and Cheap ZDDP"

hrandyMember

Dad2leia I bought a 2000 Camry XLE V6 with 192,000 ks in December of 2006. It has been very well maintained, runs great and I want to keep it running great for a few more years.

I'm a little annoyed that ZDDP is being phased out because it "might" poison catalytic converters. I've always liked good and cheap. Like most car nuts I've been tempted by the fancy marketing of oil enhancements products.
However I realize that, as Micbial stated in his post on May 8th, "If you're using a high quality oil then you shouldn't have to add anything to it."

I usually use Mobil 1, because I believe it is a good synthetic and because you can usually pick it up for $5.00 or $6.00 dollars a litre during promotions where I live in Southern Ontario.

Despite realizing that changing your oil regularily with a good oil is the logical way to go I am tempted to run down to Canadian tire and see if they have any Valvoline Synpower Oil Treatment. I will resist that urge.
