Wouldn't use additives. Too much zinc IS harmful and this whole zinc thing is out of proportion if you ask me. All oils still contain some zinc.

Before that, oils were optimized for best protection. Now they are compromised, having to accommodate the catalytic converters.
You state this as a fact. May I ask how you know this?

I still see a statement. Can't you? Strange for a native speaker.
Besides I don't know where the question mark comes from. It's not in my quote and I have used copy and paste... But maybe I'm getting too subtle now.  ;D
