oil companies don't make it easy to figure out what's in their oils. The "information" on the internet is completely wrong as often as it is right. People rely on an
oil that they grew up with that now is owned by a different refinery, made up of completely different additives, and bears no resemblance to what it was even just a few years ago. Add to that the fact that a lot of people don't put a lot of effort in to thinking.
The final wild card is that some of the testing laboratories give varying results on the identical sample of
oil. Fortunately, unless you have a solid flat tappet cam, the need for ZDDP is really not that great.
EDIT -- BUT, unless I had a catalytic converter on my car, I would rather have an abundance of ZDDP even with a mild hydraulic cam and a 250 horsepower build.
