I was under the impression that ZDDP is important only with solid lifters which
is why (considering the relatively small number of solid lifter cars in full
service) the oil makers were willing to pull it out.
$9.37/qt is ~$1/qt more than I paid for M1 the other day although I did have to
also pay tax. They just put an Autozone near here just over the NH border,
goodbye tax on motor oil...

For my last change on the '91 300D I went with Brad Penn 15W40 from LN
Engineering. So far so good but all I have to go on is the pressure at
idle - which looks better than before - but there are so many variables it's
not a great gauge. I'll run a test on it before long and see what the ZDDP
levels look like after ~2000 miles or so.
I think the cost to have 2 gallons plus shipping (Pa to Va) to my door was
around $75.
