A while ago in this section, a poster asked what was in Bardahl 1 oil supplement. I was curious about this too, so I went looking and found this document about it:

It seems to indicate that the main ingredient is ZDDP; so I figured it was similar to STP...mainly a zinc-based anti-wear additive.
I looked further after learning how important MSDS's are to find out what is in a product, and I found it:
http://asiaoil.co.th/bardahl/msds/MSDS9100 B-1 OIL SUPPLEMENT.pdf
The thing that really caught my attention is the second ingredient..... "Lead, in the form of an organo-metallic naphthenate". Does anyone know what this compound is and what it does? I've never heard of it or seen it in another product... I know lead is a soft metal, and used by Restore to 'fill in' pitted metal....does it do the same here? Both the B-1 and B-2 additives have it in them....anyone know anything about this substance? Thanks!
