    ZDDP additive for early 70's car?

    So I have a car from the early 70's with the original engine and about 85,000 miles. I picked up some standard SN conventional 10w-30 and I'm wondering if there's an additive that could boost the ZDDP levels a bit. I know they have specialty oils for this, but I only drive the car maybe 200...

    2018 Subaru Impreza oil recommendation

    Just hit 6000 miles and changed the oil to 0w20 Magnatec. I've never really used castrol much but it was on sale and the regular price is around 21 dollars or so at walmart. I've heard rumors that Subaru's can be a little bit picky about oil especially M1. I bought this car new and plan on...

    Redline D4 in 2007 Corolla

    I've got an 07 Corolla with 36k miles, ATF is factory as far as I know. I want to avoid having to drop the pan, so I would like to do a cooler line flush with the Redline. That would be followed with a drain and refill every 15-20k miles. Is that overkill? Should i just do a drain and refill...
