That's good...because you are all over the place.
I will try to respond to you in the language you use, so there is no confusion. I shall take the liberty of using your favorite word. (My apologies to others.)

Bullshit.

This one is amusing. The makers of these lifters made them for 20W50. If you want to go beyond that, have fun and I will applaud though not listen with great interest. I find it amusing that you choose an oil with one of the highest zddp content left on the market.

You are changing your tune. If you read your recent postings on diesel oils you will note that you have stated that they have or had had a higher level of zddp BUT the detergents in them wash the zddp away. One has to search for a leap of faith for that onel.
7) Recommended Oil Based on the oils I have looked at that are available in the states, it would appear that Mobil 1 15W50 is a reasonable oil. It is from a reputable company and has a reasonable quality of oil used. For those that are still a bit nervous about ZDDP levels, it has a high concentration that does not get into the dangerous levels. Such levels are above the requirements for Rover type cams. It has a winter rating that would suit most parts of the United States. While maintaining this good winter rating it has a relatively high hot temperature rating (50) which will offer a good shear protection for your engine.[/quote]
Thankfully my prodding got you out and looking a bit more. If that produced your "discovery" of Mobil 1 15W50, then you and others will benefit. I am happy about that.
However, I have concluded that there is not much headway to be made here with you. At this point, I would be grateful simply to see you post a picture of yourself without your finger in your nose.
