Cute, didn't know I had tappats. You would think it would be on the label
since zddp cannot be used on engines with catalytic converters because it
causes plugging and premature failure and the EPA and car manufacturers that
have
to warrant them longer would want to know. Kind of like the peanut
disclaimer on food for those allergic I would think.
Sounds like a blow off from an uninformed marketing person to me.

I contacted STP regarding their product, which I used. This is what they
came back with:
Dear Mr. Fluke,
Thank you for contacting us about STP Oil Treatment. We always appreciate
hearing from our consumers.
I am unable to tell you how much zddp is in the oil treatment as it is
proprietary. There is adequate zddp in both the red bottle and the blue
bottle for your tappats.Again, thank you for contacting us.
Sincerely,
Candy Thoma
