[DeTomaso] ZDDP?

[Pantdino]

Look on the back of the bottle. You'll see a circle about a 1/2 inch in diameter with a bunch of lettering in it. In the top half of the circle it will probably say "API SERVICE CI-4/SL" or SM-- probably SL.  Legally has to be on the bottle somewhere.

Yep, the 15W50 is one of the types I had, and 8 quarts of it are in the oil pan now. 
Also, the container does not mention SM (nor does it mention Zinc or ZDDP) but it does have a NASCAR logo on it, so I guess I'm good to go.

PS: One of the articles I read today said below 20W the oil companies don't have to withold the "Z", because it won't fry a catalytic converter anyway.
