There is also a good article in the Hagerty Insurance quarterly mag that shows ZDDP levels of several different oils.

Its not on their website yet. I got it in the mail. I'd scan it in if I was equipped to do so.

I switched to Brad Penn in my 83 from dino oil that the PO used which was Kendall GT-1. Since the BP is part syn I am getting a little weeping that was not there before. No real leaks and no oil spots on the floor just damp. I called Valvoline and they told me that their VR-1 Racing oil that is the Street Legal oil has 1300 PPM ZDDP. I ask a second time and was assured they were talking about the VR-1 oil at the local parts house. Since this meets or exceeds the spec for ZDDP I am considering switching back to the dino juice because of the seepage with the syn in the old engine.
