The DZ should be able to handle medium amount of oil.  It would work well on most of the PBA patterns (maybe not enough for shark and too much for cheetah, btu that all matters on the center).  I am not so sure how well it will fit in.  Between the Vapor Zone, Total Inferno, and Red Zone, the Danger Zone will most likely overlap one of those (depends on drillings).  Save it to drill up later or sell it because I am sure you will get good money for it.

Is your Original Inferno 14# too?

The BVP Wizard has the same coverstock as the DZ and it handles plenty of oil if left around 1000 grit. The cover can be smoothed out and shined very effectively, too. I'd say the DZ can still be a great ball today for medium conditions.

If it is the original DZ, it should be an excellent medium condition ball today. PK18 solid with a polished surface is a great combo, and the core os pretty strong. Closest today's "relatives" are IMHO the Rampage and the Wizard - both with PK18, too, but with a core with a higher RG that pushes them by tendency further down the lane than the DZ. The Red Zone should also come close, even though it should be slightly sharper at the break point if drilled to flip. It would IMHO also handle similar conditions as the OI, but have a more even/continuous reaction. Great ball, I wish I'd have one, too.
