RE: ZDDPlus / Z-ALT Oil ????

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The more I think about it I got very good gas mileage using ARCO and it
seemed to run cooler in the AC season.  Also used it in my wife's Mustang
with the same results after switching from regular oil and it ran smother
and leaked a lot less.  I remember she would complain that every one that
checked her oil was shocked how black it was.  Every one wanted to change it
  People get a mindset that if oil is not honey color and is black its bad. 
It can be disheartening to have just changed your oil and a station
attendant is telling you your oil is bad and needs to be changed ASAP. 
Probably more of a PR problem than bad product.

Herb,
 
Thanks, I stand corrected on the oil, it was not Molly, it was the
Graphite.
 
The problem as I recall was not in new or clean engines.  What seemed to
be happening was that in older engines it seemed to very rapidly form
sludge, enough to clog filters and oil pickup screens.
 
On a personal note it cost me a girl friend when I put it in her car and
killed the engine.  Looking back that was actually a good move, I have a
GREAT wife who not only tolerates my cars but wants me to get her 49
Dodge truck on the road.
