Ron,
I found this quote from you a few years ago and wanted to see if it were still valid.  

"The oil rating has changed from a CI-4 to a CJ-4. The older CI-4 formulation as you can see is much better. If you find some of the (CI-4) grab all of it !   If you're using the CJ-4 (new stuff) then you must use EOS or something similar."

I found an oil that says it exceeds CI-4 and CI-4 plus standards.  It's Castrol Tection Extra and it's amount of Zinc is 1218 and Phosph is 1125.  Is this good enough to not use any other additives?

Yep, that is fine to use "as is"....1200ppm zinc is the magic number  :yesnod:
