Yes...but that email was in response to my direct inquiry as to whether or
not their oil had sufficient ZDDP content to satisfy the API SF requirement
of 1600ppm for my CRX transaxle. That was my question, and I read this
answer as a "no".
I did respond by asking him if he could give me a straight yes or no on the
ZDDP content, and he told me to call him. I plan to on Monday. I get home
tomorrow.
As you probably know, SJ was the result of the first reduction of ZDDP from
1600ppm to 800ppm, and the first "automobile only" motor oil as opposed to
car and motorcycle oil.
