Hi,
I'm new, I have been reading stuff here for, a long time...
I downloaded the (ACEA) A3/B4-08 pdf, and it appears that its a more stringent standard than the API or whatever its called (in my case I need SF/CC, 10w40, 20w50 or 5w40).
My 22RTE has sliding followers and I had a premature cam/ engine failure, using name brand modern synthetic SN oil. I suspect, impart this was do to the reduction of ZDDP, or its equivalent.
My question:
Is a A3/B4-08 oil going to be good enough. Is it safe to add in ZDDP into oil without mucking up the chemistry?
One oil I am considering (price is important) is:
