If a particular oil company refuses to provide ZDDP levels I'd avoid their products
Mobil is widely available and reasonably priced, here is the Mobil 2019 spec sheet, remember you are looking for 15w40 or 15w-50 and Phosphorus and Zinc levels in in the 1100 to 1300 ppm range, anything outside those values is not what was originally spec'f and the further out the worse for the motor longevity. |
Bill:
Looking at my Bentley, 20W-50 is recommended for 15 F to 100F+
