Does BG MOA contain any ZDDP?

[MBDiagMan]

I found a box full of BG MOA in my late Fathers garage. I have a need for zinc additive for an old Ford engine I am rebuilding.

I have not been able to confirm that this stuff contains ZDDP. The MSDS sheet shows a big, long word that sounds like Naptha, and another big long word that sounds like Butane. I can't confirm anything.

My opinion of BG products for many years has been that their advantage lies in the additional profits earned by those who sell it. With that impression, it's easy for me to believe that it's nothing but Naptha and some Butane element.

Does anyone have any confirmed information on this product?

Thanks for your help,
Doc

I believe it does. If you email or call BG in Wichita they will tell you. They are pretty straight forward with their answers.

There is a VOA of BG MOA in the VOA section, from May 2007. Page 18 on mine. Shows good amounts of P & Zn, and lots (10000ppm) of Ca......jringo

Tractor oils usually have high ZDDP. JD, rotella, MTD, Briggs etc at you Home Centre.

Well, here I am posting in two places again, to make sure I get noticed. I promise to find the proper forum next time and post only there.

Thanks to everyone here, I, the BobIsTheOilGuy rookie, learned about VOA and found the information. NOW, am I correct to assume that those numbers are in PPM? Am I also safe in assuming that this means that the tiny little can of BG MOA will dilute out to probably less than 100 PPM of zinc and phosphorous when mixed with five quarts of oil?

Also, in the course of my research on this site with massive amounts of information, I learned that detergents and zinc compete for surface attraction. The enormous amount of detergents in this additive, might very well negate the effect of the zinc and phosphorous.

At this point I have enough information to be as dangerous as a hand grenade.

Thanks to everyone for their patience with the rookie.
