I respectfully disagree. A well known drag race engine builder who I would rather not name as he has no "gun in this fight" told me he had been using Rotella on the dyno for a long time. Pretty much for the same reason every one on here list it. It's cheap and he would be dumping it any way after a few quick pulls. Anyway, he pulled the covers off to adjust the valves after an extended duration run and found the oil was nothing but foam. He duplicated the events again. Same thing. Changed to another traditional oil (automotive, not diesel!)...........no foam. Good enough reason for me.

I had good experience using the 15w40 Rotella on my build. Just my .02 cents for the thread.

Lubrication oil is so complex even outside of just RPM or engine type so this could be a lengthy thread of opinions.

Also, over the last year or two Rotella has also reduced the parts per million of zinc in their oil (in accordance with gov. standards). The comment is always Rotella is cheaper. Seriously! You just spent how many thousands on a new or rebuilt engine and your looking to save a twenty dollar bill the first time it's fired up! I really don't get it.

why do we need tons of zddp with hyd roller cams?answer is,WE DON,T.
