Most of the diesel oils no longer have enough Zinc in them as new diesel trucks are running Cats as part of the emissions required by Feds. I have a chart from Lucus Oil Products. Using their Engine Break in Additive you can get what you need.

4.9 qts with 4 0z oil = 1,250 ZPPM
4.75 qts + 8oz = 2,500 ZPPM
4.5 qts + 16 oz = 5,000 ZPPM

I'm running 16 oz bottle to 14 qts in my Cobra
Other cars are 5 qt oil pans so mixed accordly.

Hope this might be of some use Happy 4th of July
Thanks a Vet today. Jay
