Oil analysis thoughts?

Re: Oil analysis thoughts?
Analysis doesn't look to bad... Metals are low which is good. Zinc n phos are about a little above average I would say than most auto store brand oils even the popular Mobil 1 so that's good. I'm all about the zinc and phos number so the higher the better for engine wear protection. These oils nowadays tend to have less. Overall not bad.

I like the availability of a 0-50 for a winter weight. Do you know anything about the zinc levels of the ENEOS?

Yeah, the Zn and phosphorus of this oil are supposed to be high specifically for those of us running flat tappets, but I'm a little miffed to see it's quite a bit lower than advertised (they advertise 1270ppm Zinc). Do you know if the zinc gets used up as you put miles on it or something?
