[DeTomaso] oil , zinc , ZF gear oil

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Well, I went to their web site and it doesn't look the way I remembered 
it, so maybe I'm not thinking Royal Purple. However, all their general 
automotive grades were supposedly SFI rated, which means they contain 
virtually no zinc (if any) except for their Break-In oil which they 
claim has lots of zinc but I couldn't find any specs to know how much. 
That doesn't mean it's a -bad- oil, but that means it's one I'm not 
interested in using.

But that's just -me-, that doesn't mean it doesn't work, or that it 
doesn't have satisfied customers. It could be I'm mistaking Royal Purple 
for some other brand too.... it was a while ago I was doing all my oil 
research.
