The proposed regulation should also include incentives for use of
engine oils containing Fluorinated ZDDP (F-ZDDP).  This additive
was just positively reviewed by the federal EPA, and has been
shown to greatly reduce phosphorous levels in tailpipe emissions
when compared with ZDDP, the additive in most oils that is used to
reduce friction.  Use of F-ZDDP extends the life of catalytic
converters and it is likely that only through the use of products
with F-ZDDP that the impending federal EPA mandate for reduced
catalytic converter emissions can be met.  Use of F-ZDDP
lubricants should be ubiquitous throughout California to reduce
hazadous emissions and to encourage all citizens to be more
environmentally conscious in a cost-effective manner that benefits
us all.
