Well, kind of, but ZDDP does get used up, and gets broken apart, but you still have the same Zinc and Phosphorous elemental numbers, they're just not bound together the same way they were originally. It's like having the same amount of hydrogen and oxygen that you had when you started out with water but you just can't drink the two gases when they're not bound together.
