Castrol GTX diesel oil w/zddp (Read 63 times)

shorty Serious Thumper Offline be careful out there gentlemen Posts: 547 southern NM Gender:	Castrol GTX diesel oil w/zddp 05/25/14 at 20:12:23 found this on sale, diesel 15w-40 Gallon jug and the label states zddp additive for extra wear protection.. I bought 2 gallons since my diesel tractor would love this, but I wonder if there is enough zddp for the LS650 Tractor Supply Stores is closing them out for $10.88 gallon, my Harley buddy pays almost that much per quart

Well... if Rotella is "approved" with that wording, so I'd imagine Castrol probably has the same amount as Rotella. Hm.

that's why I'm using it in the tractor until I learn how much zddp is in the Castrol.
It has the exact same ratings as Rotella, CJ-4 specifically addresses zinc/phosphorus content. Castrol specifically states zddp in there for extra wear protection.

I believe it's the same, maybe the MSDS will state exact quantity?
Regardless I'm getting more Wink
