I just figured I'd share a personal experience from about 20 minutes ago.
For the past couple years, I've been feeding my XJ either Mobil 1 or Castrol GTX, depending upon my budget at the time, all because I was sick of reading so much about the absence of ZDDP in modern oils and the resulting valvetrain noise everyone seems to be familiar with in the ol' trusty 4.0.
Well, after reading this thread in the JeepSpeed forum, I decided to give Rislone Oil Supplement with Zinc/ZDDP Treatment a whirl.
I poured roughly half a bottle in my warm engine, fired her up, and within about 5 seconds the valvetrain ticking went silent. The engine is the quietest I've ever heard it. No long term results to report yet, but my initial impressions are quite positive.
So, if you want to stop obsessing over what oil to buy, go with whatever tickles your fancy and get some of that Rislone ZDDP additive and call it a day.
