I'm surprised that the Zinc & Phos. PPM is not higher in this Amsoil blend. Is that really right, 1,200PPM ??
How high do you want?? I think you are kidding yourself if you don't think 1200 ppm isn't fairly high for use in a gas engine and if you think just cranking up ZDDP is the be all end all in engine protection. Also be careful with the word "blend", but anyway HDD is a tad higher than 1200.....
Amsoil TSB
Sorry for using the "B" word, I'm not sure what other word to use when refering to a specific oil without restating the exact type of oil while referring to it. But, I do "get it" as for NOT using the "B" word with this Amsoil product I asked about.
As for the PPM of Zinc & Phos. I guess I'm use to Amsoil being the highest in these contents when compared to others in like application. And I've seen data on Mobil 1 TDT 5W-40 also stating 1,200PPM Zinc & 1,100PPM Phos. I did not mean to come across that those levels were insufficient.
Anyway now that you have got involved with my question, would you recommend a different 5W-30 Amsoil product for my application and also state why? Thanks
