Question on ZDDP Oil

[Bacon86]

So I've read that I should use a zddp additive or oil such as Brad-Penn from Napa. I just left Napa with some VR-1 10W30 as the guy said he's never heard of Brad-Penn. Is this the best oil for our trucks or should I find some ZDDP additive to add to this oil? Also picked up some seafoam to help clean everything. Oh and my local Napa had the VR-1 $6.19/quart on sale for $4.49 so I stocked up on 10quarts because that seems like a steal of a deal.

Thanks all,
Bacon/Jeremy

Odd that a NAPA store never heard of Brad-Penn, but they recently quit stocking it atmost stores, but there is one in Bridgeville, PA that does stock it because a friend of mine uses it at his garage. Eastwood has the ZDDP additive.

It did seem a little odd to me as well but I figured the Valvoline was alright as the guy said it had "that ZD stuff in it" lol. Thanks I'll check out Eastwood and get some ordered in a day or two.

Shell/Rotala still has it in it. Also Castrol 4 stroke motorcycle oil has it too. If you pick up a bottle of oil and on the small round symbol on the back it's "N" then it has the zink if it's "M" then it doesn't.

Thanks for that info Fordubishi. That shouldn't be to hard to remember.
