I had problems burning the ends off intake pushrods without the additive. A Stocker would probably not need it. Over 1000 lbs open spring pressure makes show up that normally would not. I've heard of SS guys getting by without it, I never could.

According to Comp, yes. I've had no problems, and know of others doing it also.

If you are looking for Mobil-1 with ZDDP package already in it I have been told go to your bike shop and ask for the motor cycle Mobil-1. Kind of hard to find but they can order from their distributors if not stocked. Since bikes don’t have the catalytic convertors it’s still allowed by the EPA to be included and for that matter most other good bike oils still have the friction/ load additives also.

Re: Mobil 1 oil
 

I used to run Moblil 1 in everything and was evein running the 0 w 20. I had a problem a couple of times with rocker balls galling so I switched to the gibbs stuff and I have not had a problem with no other changes.

That was a few years ago. I hear that the Mobil one was still very good for street engines, but they kept making it cheaper and I am certain the zddp reduction is part of it.

Anyway, I looked at my total spend on oil each year and decided it was better to stick with something that worked for me even if it is more $$$. That was a few years ago. I am pretty happy with the decision.

Doesn't mean it won't work for you, in my case, it was a problem with stock rockers and the oil pump set up I run.
