According to the Shell site 15w-40 Rotella triple protection T4 is an API SM and CK-4 rated oil which to the API means <800 PPM thus, should be considered a low ZDDP product to make it compliant to converter longevity. The SN and CK-4+ ratings that are down the road will likely force this number to go even lower.
