I was talking to a non Porsche engine building /machine shop yesterday and he told me new oil formulation regulations means we need to add zinc additive in older cars
Any one out there have knowledge ( versus opinion) on this.
I use Brad Penn but he seemed to indicate this is industry wide.
He was not trying to sell me anything
