yeah rotella t seems to be the ticket for break in. 
My diesel sure loves it! 
i may switch to Rotella synthetic...the numbers look pretty darn good and the price-performance to the dollar cost is very good at Walmart! 
In the Z Currently
running that new 15/50 heavy duty stuff Mobil One just came out with ( more ZDDP) .

Red Line has lots... Patman on LS1tech (widely regarded as the oil expert) recommended it to me when I asked him about an oil with a high zinc and moly content.

That MSDS is for all of their motor oils, they contain the same amount of zinc didingalingadingdong whatever regardless of weight. I broke my stroker in on Rotella T 15w40, and at the 5K mark switched to 10w40 redline per Patmans suggestion. I also run the Wix 51042 filter. Livernois Motorsports (Site sponsor) carries it, I'm close enough I can just go in and pick it up when I need it. They stock that Wix filter too, but I discovered the local parts store is cheaper for the filter

BTW, I used to use RedLine 5W-30 in my h/c 346 until I toasted it.
