As far as their Powersport lineup is concerned, Maxima products utilize upwards of 868 PPM of Antimony in their premium line of oil (Maxima Extra) along with 2500 PPM of Zinc and 2900 PPM of Phosphorus. Their additive packages are some of the most robust I've come across, as I've not seen another oil manufacturer use such high concentrations of Antimony.
2500 ppm zinc and 2900 ppm phos? I'm surprised there aren't more reports of engines being eaten alive by this stuff.
Yeah, definitely not for the faint of heart! Redline is right behind them at 2125 PPM of Zinc and 2100 of Phosphorus, while Mobil 1 V-Twin follows with higher levels as well: 1750 PPM Zinc and 1600 PPM of Phosphorus.

That RedLine is full of ZZDP, low Noak (5%) and 425ppm Moly, but is rated as API SJ, obsolete rating, that's odd, for a new oil. Well, I can use it in my vehicles, but when a vehicle calls SL SM SN, it can't be used.
