What I read is the ZDDP additives are best for our engines. They build/create/generate a film/surface barrier/slime (whatever you want to think of it as) that protects the multiple metal parts as they are rubbing against each other. The high detergents levels in a High Mileage oil wash away the "film/surface barrier/slime".

That's my summary - I will now runaway from the grenade that is an oil discussions......
