Lots of good oils out there.
But from what you posted, I would run Brad Penn semi-syn with either 10W-30 or 20W-50 viscosity depending on how hot your oil gets. If the HOT oil idle (1000 rpm) is below 25 psi, then use 20W-50.
I have been using Brad Penn for many years.
10W-30 in my drag race engine, How often do you change your Brad Penn oil?

Back in the day Rotella is all I ever ran in my 440 and that's what I run in my diesels. I'll never use T6 5/40 synthetic.I was out of town and needed my oil changed bad and saw that they had a sell on the T6 so I bought it and changed my oil. By 4,000 miles it had already went through a little over 3 quarts and this truck only uses 1 quart every 5,000 miles. I changed quickly, drained it again and changed once more. I don't know where it went and don't care but when I freshen up my motor I think I will run 15/40 again. I wouldn't run 5/40 in a diesel either. In a newer gas engine like mine it seems to like it. If I still had a flat tappet engine I would be using Mobil 1 15W50 with the red cap, that stuff is awesome.
Mopar to the bone!!!

20/50 oil is old school thinking.... With all the advances in materials and oil the only reason I'd run anything that heavy is if the motor was wore out and needed it to survive.... And that only on a driver not something I was racing. Thinner oils flow better and have less drag....
