[6pack] ZDDP again

[Glenn Rierson]

Shawn,

The label on the quart container of Valvoline VR1 has the notation "exceeds 
API services SM/SL/CD" and it also has the statement "ashless anti-wear 
additives and ZDDP provide ultimate wear protection".  Where can you get the 
breakdown of the contents of motor oils?
