I think that's a fair statement. In fact, I'll go further. IMO, once broken in and a good wear pattern established, any good synthetic "should" have enough ZDDP to do the job. It's at break in that it's critical to have extra ZDDP.
I dont remember for sure but i think they used redline break in oil. Ran it for a little while with that in it once the engine was installed then changed it for mobil one
