[DeTomaso] Oil brand with ZDDT?

[Ken Green]

Amsoil makes this:
 
http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/amo.aspx
 
The description says it has a high zinc additive package.  I have never heard anything bad about Amsoil.
 
Torco makes a ZDDP additive.  There is a good article here:

It looks like Valvoline VR1 Racing 20/50 has zbbt, but the ppm are not 
listed.
I saw some posts from June '10 on an Alfa Romeo site indicating it has 1,300 
ppm, but I don't know how reliable, or current, that info is.
Supposedly Royal Purple has zbbt, but that stuff seems to leak real easily.
