This is just one brand but in searching Shell Rotella Diesel oil, I see there's 3 different types available here in Canada from a Canadian vendor. From canadiantire.ca vendor FAQ re Zinc content: Rotella T3 15W-40 1325 ppm zinc Rotella T3 NG 15W-40 800 ppm zinc Rotella T5 15W-40 1230 ppm zinc Rotella T5 15W-40 is a semi-synthetic product formulated for heavy duty diesel engines. Rotella T3 NG 15W-40 is formulated specifically for use in natural gas fired engines. Rotella T3 15W-40 is the mainline product for heavy duty diesels." I'll double check the container, but I'm about certain I recently put in Rotella T3 15W-40 Regardless, from this Shell PDF page http://tinyurl.com/ofwcbtr "· Hard working diesel and Gasoline engines Suitable for use in pick-up trucks, sport-utility vehicles (SUVs), mini-vans and motorcycles."
