We aren't chemists, but I see no harm in adding less than a full bottle of the Rislone ZDDP additive. If it comes full circle, I will post a thread and tell you that you were right IF that time ever comes. I highly doubt 'adding' so little will destroy my 'cookies' in an 8-quart pan with 7oz out of an 11oz bottle of Rislone ZDDP Engine Treatment - and that is 20% of a quart, 32oz.

Use the right oil and quit wasting money dumping additives that you have no idea if they work or not. Then again, if it makes you feel better, by all means continue doing so.
Here's the data sheets from Mobil themselves.

I'm using Royal Purple HPS (elevated levels of Zinc and Phosphorous) 20W 50 but before I did latest oil change I tried a container of this:
http://www.hyperlube.com/c3/zinc-rep...ditive-c7.html
I saw very noticeable reduction in vibration...this became more pronounced as rpm's went up...I wondered if the HPS had lost it's ZDDP.
A bottle treats 4-6 quarts per bottle so I decided to go for it and for this latest oil change I put 2 bottles in. My engine is happier I can tell you ...just from reduction in vibrations..especially as rpm builds....at $20 a bottle it adds $40 to your oil change costs, but with the significant improvement in smoothness for me I'm a buyer for now..even with fresh Royal Purple in there..it is still running smoother than if I just had the oil in alone.
I find I run the engine in lower gears around town and run it up higher because it feels that much smoother...it's nice.

I had my 94 GTS with 51,000 miles tested after 4500 miles and two years of use. The Mobil 15w-50 oil looks good, except the calcium level is low. I understand it's a detergent additive, but I don't know if that is an issue. I also wanted to see what the effects of two years of use would have on the oil. I found no ill effects and this may be due to living in a very dry climate. So if you are like me and don't put a lot of miles on your 928, you may want to consider extending your changes.
