Default Schaeffer Oil ---Any feedback from users

Anybody use this oil and any feedback. Good or bad? Extra Zinc looks to be a plus!

"Extra" usually means more than what's necessary.

AFAIK, zinc is good for breaking in flat tappet cams.

My brother uses it in everything and swears by it. Hundreds of thousands of miles in cars and pickups. He ran it in his sportster for the several years he had it with no issues. I know this isn't much info but it's all I got.

Big into NASCAR sponsorship.

Some of the top teams use their oils.

No personal experiences.

I use it as a winter oil and run Brad Penn straight 50w in the summer in both bikes. There are plenty of quality oils out there and these are 2 of them in my experience.
