It's friggin' near impossible to keep up to the rate the ZDDP content is 
being taken out of everything except pure racing oils like Gibbs.
Any oil that has been taken down to CJ-4 rating only guarantees 800 ppm, 
and a reasonable target is 1300 unless you have a roller cam.

Delco EOS is about the easiest 'real' supplement to find and there is 
enough info on the jug
for you can figure out how much to add to raise the content by 500 points.
