I think you are the one mistaken. Zinc is a good additive to have in the oil. Where did you get your info
Zinc is an anti-wear additive in the event of metal on metal contact.
High zinc levels can cause plug fowling and in some cases deposits but I think the detergents also in the rotella will take care of that.

swift is the circus of trucking companies and you are dreadfully wrong on this subject. For example, my engine builder who builds top fuel etc. Said it and delo are the oils he only reccomends.

I'll get back with a more in depth response to why later.
