For this reason, many manufacturers produce their own zinc additives or oils with supplementary zinc included; GM even offers its own break-in oil with additional ZDDP.

While the ZDDP levels of the BRZ/FR-S factory fill aren't that high, they are still higher than the oil that you'll get from the dealer and this is one reason that I always say that it's not necessary to drain factory fill so early.
Some people are like "OMG! I have to change my oil at 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 3,000 miles to get all of the metals from the manufacturing process out!!"
