I personally like Amsoil dominator.
i was going to state that oil brand is highly debatable but that bobistheoilguy.com has a lot of good to say about mobil 1.

that link you posted was an interesting read.
however, a few items to point out
1, they suggest RACE OIL for engines making 100+ whp per cylinder (not the case here.)
2, FL 4 is now obsolete. mobil 1 is GF 5, now.

10W-30 Synthetic Oil | Mobil 1™ 10W-30

but i agree that more zinc is better protection. im going to look further into this myself
