Message	as the oils with higher levels. Probably any synthetic is better than the conventional oil that our cars were designed around. If you still have cats, the lower levels could keep them healthy longer. If you don't have cats, oils with reduced zddp are not the best choice. Look at the Mobil 1 Product Guide. This will help explain why I like M1 0w40 much better than their 10w30.
