I was sold on the ZDDPlus that Kirbanperformance.com sells. Also available on ebay and other sites I'm sure.

how about some vr1 racing oil with zddplus in it already?
I know well enough to not let anyone change my oil, especially not Jiffy Lube.. no need to blame me,, the previous owner did those oil changes... Am going to run Valvoline Max Life and either one of those additives for awhile... Not sure where I can find EOS anymore as I'm told that its discontinued which is why I was considering Justice Bros... but I haven't been able to find it anywhere either...

don't bother with the additives- just use the same oil you'd use in your turbocharged Buick. you need the good oil for the same reason- the flat tappet cam.
either get a diesel oil like Delo or get the Mobil 1 "High Mileage" oil that still has the "SL" rating.

Oil additives
There have been about 50 million posts on ZDDP/oils on this site (http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/general-turbo-buick-tech/226565-oil-zddp-supplement.html is one). They should be reviewed.
Most do not recommend diesel oil because of its additives. SL oils, although they did contain some ZDDP, did not meet the required level. SM has almost none. If you want to add EOS (p/n 88862586) as your source you can find the cheapest cost at gmpartsdirect.com (but their shipping is high). However, for an everyday driver, you will find it more economical to add ZDDPlus. Kirban has a bunch of distributors found under Welcome to Kirban Performance Products
