Oil additives

When I worked for a Cat dealership, we sold SOS (scheduled oil sampling) kits/program. You took a sample approx 150 ml and sent in to our lab for analysis. Wasn't cheap, but you're dealing with million dollar machines. You could do the same for any engines.
So I've run Shell Rotella 15/40 for years with the Lucas breakin additive. No issues over 12 years.
What's the alternative? Is there a base oil out there that has the proper amount of zinc/zddp that requires no additive?
