Rotella diesel oil is not a good idea. A few years ago it did still have higher ZDDP levels, but it's formulated to reduce sludging specific to diesels. Oils are made for specific applications, and just like you don't run regular in the diesel, you don't want diesel in your high performance engine. Run a good race oil, even after break in, IMO.
