Just out of interest, found the current specifications for maximum amounts of additives to achieve API ratings. P is phosphorus, Zn is zinc, and B is boron. Each figure is total parts per million of additives. These can also be roughly expressed in percentages by multiplying by .0001 (1301 PPM = .13 percent, 994 PPM = .099 percent)

API P Zn B
SJ 1301 1280 151
CI-4 1150 1374 83
SL 994 1182 133
CJ-4 819 1014 26
SM 770 939 127

The following is comparison with Penrite HPR 30 and their Classic

So the Classic is sitting at 1670ppm which is getting up there, but safely under the 2000. not a lot over the HPR30 though. Haven't compared prices. I'm meeting with an old mate that is in the automotive oil business tomorrow, be interesting to see what he thinks - and what he sells.
