So, how much are you going to put in with the standard Lucas oil to get exactly what recommended PPM level?
I notice they freely admit you have to add ounces of this booster stuff just to get up to the ZDDP level that is native to the Rotella products ....
Not sure they really admitted to anything - they sent me a file that listed zinc levels for every product they make...I just didn't want to paste the entire document here. I only posted the 2 products I had mentioned.

The VOAs posted look a bit more like just regular Lucas automotive oils with their claimed 860 ppm - The "Race Only" oils varied between 2,616 - 6,795ppm.

Planned on waiting till I had 1,000 miles on the engine before I switched to a synthetic oil - right now she reads a total of
2.6 miles. I've got a ways to go.
But I should know more about the additive package when I do my own VOA, instead of just what a Lucas rep says. Mailed the sample off yesterday.
