Yes, Val VR 1 has enough ZDDP, as does Redline.  Maybe my messages are not 
reaching the list but Amsoil offers many products still with the API SL 
designation which still has plenty of ZDDP in it.  The statement about API speck SM is 
correct DON'T use it in your flat tappet engine.  Especially if it is newly 
rebuilt!!  Marketing or not Amsoil has done a LOT of wear testing on the 
various oils and has results available for anyone that cares.
 
Some of the list may not be familiar with Amsoil but is has been around a 
LONG time.  They know their oils.  Buy what ever you want but use an SM rated oil 
at your own peril.  Otherwise I suggest you may want to check things out and 
use what David Nock, Tom or myself have suggested.
