Does anyone know of a zinc additive called "Hy-per Lube Zinc Replacement Additive" (www.hyperlube.com)? Is it any good? For $16/bottle, it'd better be. I can't find any references about it here on the board- I'm surprised noone's asked about it before....
Thanks!

Uhmm.... ok. If noone's heard anything good about it, can someone at least tell me if they've heard anything BAD about it?

There is cheaper. Even Year One has a cheaper answer that seems to work well...ZDDP plus. They sell it for $10.00 prior to the Moparts discount.
I have used the Zddp stuff for a while now and I actually do think it seems to make the engine slightly quieter...probably just my imagination.

Rather than adding ZDDP, I think you're better off using an engine oil that has enough ZDDP already in it. Excessive amounts of any additive can lead to engine deposits. The Corvair Flat Tappet Engine Oil article recommends Heavy Duty Engine Oils (HDEOs) with a CI-4/SL ratings (rather than CJ-4/SM) ratings and these are commonly available. I've written an Engine Oil article for the ACCCC website and I'm recommending 0W-30 HDEOs for our club member cars requiring 30-weight oil.
