[DeTomaso] Busted Big, but Reno anyway?

Dunno, I'll look when I Get home, but my goal is to gain zddp content. Says
something like "turbo diesel engine oil" or something.

General comments on this list and various forums are that diesel engine oil
has higher zddp content.

Exactly what does it say on the label? Most oils I see are for use with
gasoline or diesel engines, with or without turbo. What would a diesel
engine only oil sacrifice compared to a gasoline only or a diesel/gas oil?
