I think the reason it's not recommended to use EP containing oil additives long term is because the heavy metals will kill the cat., therefore EPA cover's their ass by saying not to use them long term.
As far as hurting anything except deactivating the cat., they won't hurt anything that I know of..

If she's a oil burner a can of Restore will make a nice improvement, as will new valve seals very likely!!!
You can cut a man's tongue from his mouth, but that does not mean he’s a liar, it just shows that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

EOS would have been my first choice but it didn't seem likely to me that you would have any available. I think Zinc Alkyldithiophosphate in the LUcas and Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphate in EOS. Read the label.
I have an opened can that I'll use on my old Ram... saving these last five cans for my next five projects... should last me until I'm 99 or dead whichever comes first...

If it's an oil burner Eos will detonate something fierce.

Don't know... maybe we'll have to try it. Not much compression left here so I'm not sure there's enough heat to detonate anything!Barry Burch wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 2:54 pm If it's an oil burner Eos will detonate something fierce.
