Newer oils just don't have as much of the good stuff (zinc/phosphorous)

I would use the Red Line additive in any lubricant that was API SM. 1 ounce per quart. Although, the last guy that tried to get me to use API SM has a few teeth missing.

*Kidding about the teeth*

I'm not big on buying a lubricant that requires an extra additive that I must add to make the oil safe for high performance use, especially in forced induction applications. I prefer to buy a lubricant that is formulated with high levels of ZDDP, and ready to go in my engine.
