 Thanks all!  This at least confirms the need for appropriate ZDDP in our cars.

Apparently, Brad Penn makes a partially synthetic 20w50 racing oil with high levels of ZDDP.  This might be good for our cars, but some have reported high rates of leaking oil with synthetics.  Anyone tried this?  Anybody know of a conventional racing oil with the appropiate levels of ZDDP?

Of course, none of this discounts the possiblity that the additives will do the job mixed with conventional motor oil.  Though I'd agree that mixing it yourself may be a bit of a shot in the dark.
