I'm sure if somebody would produce a 50-80 oil there would be a bunch of Cobra guys that would buy it.

All the more reason to buy your own ZDDP. You can add it to 0 - 20 weight if thats what you want to do. Buying your own ZDDP gives you the flexibility to do whatever you want to meet your own specific oil desires.

The problem with ZDDP additives is that you can not be assured that the additive is properly dispersed throughout the oil supply.

It comes pre mixed in a small oil base.
