Sure do - that's why they've been removed from current automotive spec oil. At least that's the official line.

Got proof?

Empirical proof? No.And I'm not going to go looking for citations just to satisfy you,but the automotive industry has been saying so for several years. As a mechanic I know how touchy a 3 way catalyst can be, and how expensive. I'm not going to use an older spec (high zinc/phospourous) oil in the Mystique and risk $2000 worth of catalytic converters.
