The question is not about redlining. The question is about ZDDP additives since my oil is 0W-20 full synthetic.
10 seconds on the ZDDP site gave the answer you seek.


When does a car need ZDDP?

If you own a modern car, built in the 1990s or more recently, there's no need to add ZDDP to your engine oil. Just ensure you use the oil specified by your manufacturer in your owner's manual
