So I've read several times here that Calcium can in essence inhibit Zddp in an engine oil from really working properly, effectively making the oil behave like an oil that had less Zddp than it actually has.
I just randomly the other day stumbled upon a Uoa of an oil that i've used in the past and recommended to friends etc which is Shell Rimula R4X 15w40 , it's a A API SL , E7, CI-4 old school HDEO, and i didn't know it had 4000ppm of CA , plenty of ZDDP for sure, but it got me thinking, with so much CA how does this oil really behave? Like one with 900ppm would? Thoughts?
Also i was surprised by 500ppm of Boron, i don't think i've ever seen that much.
