ALL of the diesel rated oils, including DELO 400 have reduced the zinc and phosphorus additive by about 25%. Anything with a CK-4 rating will have reduced ZDDP. I have used DELO 400 in my diesel for years and the attached oil analyses shows when they reduced the additive package. If you can find CJ-4 rated oil (good luck), that has the higher ZDDP additive. Seems like all diesel rated oils have been scarce lately, no matter what the rating.
But using a diesel rated oil in a gas engine is still a good thing, as the additive package is higher than a straight gas rated oil.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
