The zinc additive is no longer available in the mass-marketed oil brands, gas or diesel ....... despite what some might say about this one having it or that one having it. Not sure if it just because of the catalytic converter problem or maybe that as well as some other environmental ones. Some small-market oils still have it as an additive, for example some (not all) specialty oils have it like brands for classic hot rods or older-designed high performance engines with flat-surface tappets. But expect to pay a premium price for that stuff. A lot of oil experts (if there is such an animal) claim that owners of older cars and trucks are unnecessarily pushing the panic button about current oils not having it.

When you think of it, despite not having the zinc additive, look at all the other lubricating additives that modern oil has that weren't there 50 years ago.
