Yes, forget the additive junk and just use a good oil.

MolaKule do high mileage oils really make a difference? Do they really help seals and such?

+1. If you want oil with a bit of extra "oomph" just use HM oil.

I'd be blown away if your engine has a flat tappet camshaft design; ZDDP concerns are an issue with older design engines such as two of the four in my sig, notably at break-in and with high spring pressures. Even if your engine design included flat tappets ... at 280K, adding ZDDP won't matter much. Yes, continue as before or try a HDEO like Delo, Rotella, Delvac, etc.

I did a VOA of STP HM.. it nothing but thick oil. it has less additives than regular oil. plus probably a seal conditioner like other HM oils.

Dont use additive to try make up for buying bad oil,
if you have alot left over, it may be worth it... but just change your oil often if you think you need the extra protection.

STP USED to have high ZDDP levels.
It is now castrated, but still somewhat useful for an oil burner.
