[T3] ZDDP...again

[Keith Park]

The straight weights don't give you the benefit of the viscosity enhancers.
Jake Raby reccomends nothing but the 20W50 in the summer and 10W30 in the
winter, but the 20w50 only comes in partial synthetic... which is a mistake
with an older engine without an oil filter.  Not all Brad Penn has the ZDDP,
you want the GREEN oil, make sure you get the right stuff.  The 20W50 is
probably a bit thick for a younger engine but as it gets older that better.

Thanks to all for the product suggestions.  Turns out there a shop around
the corner that sells Brad Penn.  I think I'll go that route.  But my other
question is which oil?  I've been going with 10W30 in the winter and 10W40
in the summer.  Should I just stick with that plan?  There are more to
choose from in this list:

<http://www.bradpennracing.com/Products/Racing-Oils.aspx>I seem to remember
from some list conversations and notes I took, that straight weight oils
might be better for us and they specifically mention these for air-cooled:

http://www.bradpennracing.com/Products/High-Performance/SAE-30.aspx
<http://www.bradpennracing.com/Products/High-Performance/SAE-30.aspx>
http://www.bradpennracing.com/Products/High-Performance/SAE-40.aspx

<http://www.bradpennracing.com/Products/High-Performance/SAE-40.aspx>Would
this be the way to go if they have it?  And would 40 in the summer and 30 in
the winter be the choices with straight grade?

Thanks for helping a newbie out,
