Default HPP mag (Feb 08) - ZDDP articles

Here's a subject that we've killed a few times but I was pleasantly surprised with the Shell Rotella one. They state the the newer formulation still had 1200 which is still considered adequate for the flat tappet cams. I believe the older version had 1400.

Just curious who else found the info interesting.

Does this mean all Rotella oils and weights? I've heard that there were 2 different classifications of the rotella that one was better for zddp. I should probably go pick up a copy for myself.
