When I first saw the print ad for it I called Castrol and talked to them the
customer service person I talked to took the time and tracked down the amount
for me.
 
BE CAREFUL, Castrol Syntec DOES NOT HAVE ZDDP. A specially labled version of
Syntec 20/50 is what has the zddp. You have to see the tag on the front that
says formulated for classic cars.

Do we have PROOF that there is at least 1200ppm of ZDDP
in the Castrol.   I use the Castrol in the wife's '06 Sonata.
B cam and lifters are so tender as to steer me away from
putting anything w/ less than the 1200 ppm  in a B engine
and very hesitant about doing so in any flat tappet motor.
