[DeTomaso] ZDDP?

[Pantdino]

Which Redline oil specifically?
AFAIK all manufacturers have to comply with the law unless they sell it "for offroad use only" or equivalent.
So,for example, if they are selling a 5W-30 it has to comply with the SM rating max of roughly 800ppm.

You are probably referring to a -40 or -50 so the 1200 number is probably right, but you can't assume that just because one oil from a manufacturer has 1200 they all do.

Dan, Summit sells both a 10W30 'break-in' oil from Comp Cams ($4.95/qt- 
CA-1590), or an additive from Comp Cams   ($10.95/12 oz -CCA-159) or from 
rick-Flow ($9.95/12 oz -TFS-94000). There are some indications that TOO
UCH ZDDP in your oil is nearly as bad as not enough, so by using 5 qts of
omp's 'break-in' oil, you avoid the guessing, mixing and extra expense
eeded to get the current-good levels of about 1200 ppm with someone else's
 qts of oil. Good luck this year- J DeRyke
