To me, at least, the bottom line is we should all use what we are comfortable with. To some that’s the extra protection of Amsoil, others Mobile 1 with or without an addative, I’m sure there are many other options. Ultimately there is no one answer.

Good discussion though...

Sounds like Hib’s article would find Mobil 1 High Mileage to have an acceptable level of ZDDP.
I didn’t get the impression that Cliff’s link did much to indicate that lack of ZDDP was the cause of lobe wear. And didn’t Marc write that he went ahead and continued to use that cam w/o further issue?
