I ordered a blackstone kit , we have to know now ! The can is dated 12-70 . I’m with ya , I think the zddp blame is over exaggerated for actual street engines but it’s sure burned into my mind lol I figure an HD oil should be higher zddp formula ? I’ll shake the heck out of the can before I pour the sample .
