Thanks for all the response. All of it is appreciated. Understandably, consumer education is critical in this endeavor. All the additives on the market currently seem to meet our needs at this time, but my approach is completely different. In these changing times just about every lubricant, as well as gasoline, requires some sort of additive to maintain the similar levels of performance and durability that we expect from our cars. It appears that they are no longer optional, all conceived, in my opinion, to compensate for already inadequate products we all purchase. Some European manufacturers have taken the vintage oil situation to the next level by producing a more than adequate performance and protection oil for both their performance and antique automobiles. It would be simple to buy and market these products in the U.S., but unfortunately, due to the weak dollar, and higher costs of petroleum, doing so would result in a quart price of about $12.00 or more. Through continual discussions with ILC Spectro, a new additive package possibly called "Zincare" (trademark pending), blended with the best available base stock will produce a product that both protects and performs under the most severe of conditions. We all use our vintage cars differently, some for daily use, some for racing, and some strictly for show duty, some stay in long-time storage. Our new product is engineered to address all of these situations with no compromise. Hopefully, the perfect blend can be found soon, so we can continue with testing prior to sale. Thanks for the continued support. Regards -- Frank
