what would be a good amount of zinc / phosphorous for a gasoline truck engine? 900 & 800 good, or just so-so?

GM-
Lawn tractor oil (like Briggs and Startton or John Deere SJ) is loaded with ZDDP, as is the great John Deere 50 and Chevron Delo. Nothing wrong running these oils in a older car with a rebuilt. ZDDP is cheap - no need to spend extra $$ to get an oil loaded with it.

That is a potent oil. Especially being a majority POE base. Nice.
Thanks for posting all of these VOA's John. Of course, honestly, I was not surprised by any of these numbers. It is performing well so far.... I recently put this oil in my car and I love it

Why are they off and who's numbers are correct?

Redline's base oils do a pretty good amount of cleaning all on their own. As I understand Redline has to load it up with additives because their ester base oils are competing for available surfaces. Some esters do such a good job clinging to surfaces that they crowd out AW addtives like moly and ZDDP. Redline is kind of old fashioned chemistry, but the R&D for something new isn't cheap.

I doubt any oil company rests on their laurels and says their product is good enough. Why do you believe it to be old fashioned chemistry?
