Longbox: don't worry. Nothing is getting started. I actually enjoy all the opinions. I know that a couple "performance" companies put out a letter about this but feel a lot of it was perhaps due to poor quality on their part and it was "CYA".
Nevertheless, right or wrong, I would recommend doing as I have always done and that is use a quart of EOS (GM's Engine Oil Supplement) when starting up a new engine. Simply because todays companies try to "cheap up" a part and you never know what changes they have made!
I've worked on cars most of my life,evem at a dealership "many" years ago and have spent some time at my brothers shop. He built racing engines for over 25 years and you can probably imagine some of the stuff he,and myself, seen happen to engines!
The thread about a year ago about the zddp in oil was a good one but things change "regularly" with the formulations and even down to the color of the dang oil bottle.
It seems I remember a lot of folks going to Rotella because of this but BEWARE. Even the "diesel" oils were reformulated a while back. There is also a couple brands that "tout" having the zddp in it but can't remember them at the moment!
My own personal choices are Valvoline and Castrol but AFTER the break in most any oil will do the job if proper maintenance is done on the vehicle.
