You can't go wrong with the Formula Shell. It's loaded with Moly and has lots of Zinc, among other nice additives. Overall, Shell,PYB and Havoline are my favs on the list.
 
Anything rated SM will have a lower zinc content. Best to run an older CI diesel oil if you can find it. I think M1 HM is still SL rated and may have higher levels.

Yes it is and it does.
 
Just use oil meant for Motorcycles or Small Engines like lawn-mowers they are loaded with ZDDP most times.

You could run half that and half your favorite oil.

I know Redline has a wickedly high ZDDP 4-Stroke engine formula if you are interested.

You could use a quart of that added to your favorite oil to boost ZDDP levels and aid as an excellent cleaner because it's POE GRP-V based.

Can you supply a link to the Shell web site that lists the amount of ZDDP in their various oils?

I can find no data on ZDDP content in Formula Shell or any of their conventional diesel oils.

Thanks,
