A similar discussion on this is going on at the HAMB.
Nice part is the post author posted a long list of oils that did and did not contain Zinc.
Along with percentage amounts of Zinc on the Zinc containing oils.

I'm here for ya Jay!

I took a quick look at Notebooms list (didn't read the whole thread), and would just caution that it may not be accurate. I noticed he had Chevron Delo 400 15w40 listed as "NONE". That didn't look right, so I pulled up Chevron's data sheet online and it shows .148 weight % (Sept 06 printing), slightly higher than the Shell Rotella that seems to get most of the automotive sites heart's a pumpin'. Not trying to sell their product, just that I competed with them for so many years I'm pretty familiar with it. If the list is wrong for such a well known product it makes me suspicious of some of the others, plus things change, both ways. For those interested in what their current choice is, rather than relying on a second hand accounting, just go to the website of the manufacturer, pull up one of their data sheets, and verify it there............much more accurate.

BTW Jay, you going to visit your daughter and go to Carl's BBQ during SEMA week?
