kirban 2 cents worth
If you don't want to gamble with wear issues and you are using any current store bought oil that has the SM starburst on the back you need I repeat you need to add one bottle of zddplus....
Look at the label on your sun visor it states use a QUALITY SF OIL....
Oil as each new category came out was supposed to be backwards compatible....that is now not the case now because of emissions etc and the fact cataltic converters have a 100,000 plus warranty. Also supposedily rolelr set ups don't need that much dosage....(Not the case in performance roller set ups they do need zddp as it slows down the scuffing etc....)
wear happens gradually reason many of you are not aware of the damage that is occuring. If it was not the case companies like Erson, Crower, Isky to name just 3 cam companies all of which any of you have heard of would not buy our product.
I even have actual proof that it significantly reduces cam lobe wear in roller set ups from a engine builder that builder 1,000 hp engines.
I also know for a fact Dove, who is the largest manufactuer of aluminum roller rocker arms in the US used our product in the ford engine they built for the engine masters contest and had no issues and they recommend the product for flat tappets.
Lucas does not have levels of the ppm we have....our product brings it up to about 1,800 ppm. sm oil only has by law about 800 ppm......also is Lucas putting up six grand at the GS Nats year? I doubt it.
You could not improve on what we have in 4 ounces unless it was cheaper than $10 a bottle......period.....treats a normal 4-6 quart engine.
I know I will get a debate on this but unless you tear down your engine using striaght sm oil you got no proof that you are right and we are wrong. Remember in our bottle their is nothing I repeat nothing that was not in the oil oiginally back in 1988 so its impossible to have a ill effect....period.
Consider this fact: The person with the company behind it owns the largest turbo buick collection in the world....if it did not affect his cars which are no different than your cars.....he would not have gotten into the business of making the product....he is not in the automotive business. My connection is our company is one of just two that are in at the ground floor.
Your next question is going to be why is it not in stores? It is very tough to get a new product into stores with no background with retail stores. Member Alexander Bell when he made the telephone....took awhile to sell a few....
We took the marketing to the major mail order companies first and we have done quite well in that area. We sell to some of the largest in their fields Eastwood, Moss Motors, 4 cam companies direct, several major engine warehouses that sell to engine builders.....plus you don't get someone like Don Garlits.....to represent your product unless he believes in your product. Its not like the guy needs the money....he holds more records than anyone in drag racing.....and is a hands on type of guy. Heck he is letting us set up at his Museum in Ocala this NOvember for his big Mopar event.
The fact the product comes from a Buick source to start with should be convincing enough but if you send me a pm
denniskiriban@yahoo.com I wil gladly send you by mail proof of our claims.....
Names like Crower and Isky cams....they went with our product based on facts, heck they never heard of me or the company behind ZDDPlus.....

By the way the year before Dove wasted a cam at the engine masters challenge and last year they didn't.....
the critical thing is not what oil to use other than weight required, its what amount of zddp you need to equal what was in the oil back when your car was new.....under the SF category.....
This is the same exact product that the GS club sells even though in their newsletter they are not calling it by its proper name. ZDDPlus.....is the trademarked name. It is also registered in Europe as we have a distributor in England as well.
