new engine, no instructions, oil?

new engine, no instructions, oil?
As everyone is nausiatedly aware, I got a parts truck and had the 4.6 redone. I'm putting it together as much as possible while I wait for the world's most expensive washers ("Dowty") to arrive.
My 4.0 has been using Rotella 15/40 for years. I live in Texas. I drive like a little old lady, speed-wise.
Any harm in continuing my Rotella use for the new engine?

They recommend Rotella for my diesel powered Kubota excavator good for diesels although they reckon there is other petrol oils in their range. I use Fuchs Titan in everything, different grades for different applications and it always works well for me , they also produce Japanese spec for autoboxes which is far superior to Dexron grades.

I should have been more clear.
I use the Rotella (Dino version) for three reasons: keeps engine clean thanks to detergents, makes seals and small leaks happy, and I get it basically free because I have a small fleet of personal and commercial vehicles. But this is the only one with a NEW engine. I started using it on the rover to keep the tappets happy.
I'm just wondering if it is too thick for a non sloppy non diesel engine.

The first 30 minutes is the most important.
