There is a thread on EVERYTHING here... duplicates are bound to happen.
 
Well they already claimed their normal SL stuff already had higher than SM levels of zinc. Find me one VOA or UOA that shows that. Ha!

There everywhere!!
The 5W20, 5W30, and 10W30 have 1000ppm of ZDDP while the 10W40 and 20W50 have 1200 ppm of ZDDP for the regular RP

Uh... ANY one of them on the UOA/VOA forum...???
 
OK this time I did find some of these readings approaching 900-1000. Never could before. Seems like the thinner stuff comes up in the 800-ish range.

I had expected the error to center around the stated 1100 ppm and am a little disappointed that I dont see that.

If anyone wants to donate to the cause, I'll buy a bottle of the new HPS and send it off for a VOA.

Here is my VOA/UOA of RP5W20. No 1000 PPM here. Not that I think it has to be there in my case. This result is from Wearcheck.

Sodium: 7.1/15
Fuel %: 0/ Glycol: 0/0
Water: Sulfation: 0/23% of max

That was my point also. I'm not saying RP is bad oil--I've used it myself.
I am just still skeptical of the zinc/phosphorous content being as advertised. (And that includes the new stuff.)
