   If you have flat tappets, it's a good thing.  If you have a modern engine   
   with modern valves, it's superfluous.  It should not be a problem with a   
   well-designed catalytic converter.  ZDDP was in oil for many years with   
   converters in place.  But there's no reason to add it for engines that do   
   not need it.
