Brad Penn sells a lot of different oils, this is just one of them and the
one they recommend for the ZDDP.  I have the 10W30 version of this in my
Notch, but with the high oil temps the pressure is sitting on the pin at
idle, and this is a very yongue engine.

The PROBLEM with this oil is its all the semi synthetic, which Id like to
avoid to keep the oil cooler.

Yep, that's the stuff I was talking about. They sell it in lots of 
different weights, some of which might be better choices for you.
