A 1/4 bottle of additive contributing 2,500 ppm of zinc is diluted by 5 quarts of oil, it would appear to add about 500 ppm of zinc to the overall mixture.

Maybe I'm not saying it quite right, but it should get the idea across, I hope.

Can 455 confirm that? Or does the bottle say the increase is for the total mixture including the5 quarts of oil?
