Discussion of ZDDP Booster Blend Table (Read 74 times)

Kris01 Serious Thumper Offline Eat, sleep, RIDE! Posts: 3767 Tennessee Gender:	Discussion of ZDDP Booster Blend Table 03/26/14 at 11:21:00 I use 2 ozs. of booster to 1 gallon of Rotella. Puts me right in the correct range of ZDDP and the booster bottle will last me 8 oil changes! Here is a link to the Blend Table http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1345080430

I run the Redline and I want around 1,400ppm.....I therefore add 1 oz. per gallon....or 1.25 ounce per 5 quarts.

The best level of zinc (or ZDDP) is generally accepted to be around 1500 ppm. Over 2000 ppm and the zinc actually digs into the metal and wears it away. Think metal shavings roaming around your engine!

If you are talking the 15W-40 Rotella T.....it may have enough at 1,250 ppm. The table works for the white bottle Rotella T and the blue bottle of Rotella T-6.

Here is the full oil discussion thread link so you can read up on it:

Here is Oldfeller's statement of adequacy:

600 ppm is way way so not enough
800 ppm is so not enough
1,000 ppm is not enough
1,200 ppm is enough
1,500 ppm is comfortably enough
1,850 ppm is more than ample (rubinesque)
2,100 is somewhat difficult to control
2,500 likely might smother you accidentally

Someday I will be old......But not today!
