As with many government mandated auto initiatives (in this case limiting levels of ZDDP), manufacturers slap a "Racing - not for street use" moniker on it and all is good. Mobil 1 Racing oil of varying weights still has 1750 ppm ZDDP.

I don't think it was their fault. The ZDDP harms catalyst material, I think, and the government made oil manufacturers reduce or eliminate it to keep catalytic converters working.
