Does my EA-81 need zinc added to its oil?

Thanks, since my Brat came from California it has 2 cats, I'll stick with the current oil formulations. -
They charge $250 to store a car there from mid-October to early April. They also store boats and travel trailers but that's more. It's a great deal shortly after I took that picture of the Brat it was surrounded by other cars. That's why they issue you a date and time to retrieve in the spring so they can unpack in order. It's just like an informal car show, I even see a couple of my former cars there.

Actually that's a building on the MN state fair grounds. I've been wintering cars there for years, they're secure, dry and kept above freezing. Only issue is birds that get in which calls for covering your car up. The Brat has the bed loaded up with my wife's gardening things which opens up space in our own garage.

What holds the fake vent grill on?

Thanks, I'll consider getting access to that center fastener from the inside. -

I've taken out the two screws but the vent seems to be still held in place by something in the center. I'd prefer not to have to take off the panel behind it inside since the 30 + year old plastic is brittle. Pressing on the vent there seems to be something solid in the center unlike the rest which deforms easily. If there is a press in fastener there I'm going to try prying it out with a thin screwdriver. -
