Junky, follow the link to the Joe Gibbs webpage and see what you think they mean.

Doesn't say much of anything except for a nice ad for Joe Gibbs products. Lots of broad-brushing. Never comes out and says anything specific.

Only thing they state clearly is:

"Joe Gibbs Driven BR Break-In oils utilize the correct balance of anti-wear additives and detergents, so you don’t need to buy expensive additives to try to “fix” a low zinc (ZDDP) oil."

So, Joe Gibbs' oil is the only motor oil with the correct balance of anti-wear additives and detergents?

That can be said of any oil company's product if they so want to say it in an ad. Like my oil is better than yours.

The ad proves absolutely nothing. It's just an ad.

How people can get out of this ad that diesel oils "wash" away zinc is beyond me.
