A while back I watched my neighbor destroy his brand new John Deere mower by purposely adding extra oil to the crankcase. If 1 quart is good, two must be better.

The literature suggests that 1200ppm
zinc is sufficient for solid flat tappet cams and the benefits begin dropping off at around 1900ppm. If you don't have a solid flat tappet cam then any of the good oils will work just fine.
