<VV> Emergency ZDDP SJ Oil

[Eric S. Eberhard]

As Bob Helt correctly pointed out -- all oils have ZDDP -- the 
question is how much?  The RP answer was, in fact, not 
informative.  They should list the concentration on their site.  As 
to top-off -- one of the primary reasons I picked Mobil 1 is 
availability.  I usually get it at Walmart.  I can get it at most 
Mobil stations.  And Napa, Carquest, etc.  Not all Mobil 1 has the 
correct amount.  The 15-50 racing oil has a lot, 1600.  Which is why 
I picked it, along with availability, and reasonable price (I get the 
big 5 quart bottles at Walmart for under 30 bucks). E
