I seemed to recall the additives burn up cats. I also run a mix of VR1 valvoline 20w/50 racing oil, motorcraft 5w/30 synthetic motorcraft blend and lucas TB zinc plus additive in my datsun U20 roadster which was recommended by Dave Rebello.

Synthetics are definitely way better than conventional oils.
