Or, you can use a diesel engine oil like Shell Rotella-T. Those oils don't have to follow the exact same standards are automotive gasoline oils and have higher levels of ZDDP. That's what I'm now using in my truck.

All the diesel oils are losing their ZDDP additives too.  At least that's what I heard.
