For the small engines I use a combo of Marvels Mystery oil and Sta-bil. In my cars I use just the Marvels. I'm in California, so the actual lead additive is not available as far as I know

YOu're right, not a lead additive, but lead is a quase lubricant and the marvels fills that gap somewhat. Like I said, I don't see lead additives on the California shelves. I'd have to take a trip over to Reno and pick up some Lucas brand stuff.
