Only way to get a descent oil is to look for what they call classic oils.
My favourite oil went from 1800ppm to 1300ppm ZDDP without any change in the paper specs.

I understand that Europe does not have to use, adhere or respect the American API standards and requirements.
Over here, it is closely regulated/watched.
Manufacturers cannot change ingredients without changing labels.
They are held highly accountable, unlike the rest of the free world,
which may or may not adhere to other worldly or make believe standards.
The American Petroleum Institute Holds accountable products manufactured and/or sold
into the American Market.
API regularly -independently purchases off the shelf products
and tests them against the manufacturers claims, and against competitive manufacturers products.
But not in Sveden and especially not OPEC. sorry

The association’s chief functions on behalf of the industry include advocacy, negotiation and lobbying with governmental, legal, and regulatory agencies; research into economic, toxicological, and environmental effects;
establishment and certification of industry standards; and education outreach.
API both funds and conducts research related to many aspects of the petroleum industry
API (also) defines the industry standard for the energy conservation of motor oil. API SN is the latest specification to which motor oils intended for spark-ignited engines should adhere since 2010. It supersedes API SM.
Different specifications exist for compression-ignited engines.
