The old Rotella had the high levels of zinc, but the newest version has lower levels.

Anything in a bottle marked rated SM is way down on any additives the old flat tappet engines need. Rotella included. I think it's basically buy the additive and run what you want, or pay bigger $$ for the race only stuff. There was a thread going on Moparts for a little while about this. I'm going to look into the Joe Gibbs Racing oils I think...
