Basically you are correct. The zinc-phos anti-wear compound will "poison" the newer (three way?) catalytic converters, so they mix in a lot less than they previously used. Substitute 15W40? Bingo! you are again correct. Use 15W40 or if cold weather starting is a concern, use synthetic 0W40. I have done this for years and also use 0W40 in a newer plastic chevy which has been chipped, which required removing the secondary catalytic converters.
