Higher zinc content, more excellent anti-wear property. But it can't be used in dirctory systems with SILVER plated components.
Zinc is commonly found as part of multifunctional additives that improve both the antiwear and antioxidant properties of the lubricant. As David Sim pointed out, there are systems where zinc-containing additives are not appropriate.
Zinc additives can promote deposit-formation when misapplied.
If the application in question requires a non-zinc or reduced-zinc content oil and you are seeing increased zinc levels, you may have a misapplication problem. Do you use both AW (zinc-containing) and non-AW hydraulic oils at your location? Is it posible that a non-AW system was accidentally topped-off with an AW oil?
