It will work fine, but not the best for storage.
Here's a proper link: Amsoil Dominator 15-50
Let me know if you want to be a PC.

Or you can use Mobil 1 15w50!

It has enough detergents, but you certainly don't want to do an extended interval. As for Phos/Zn, sure they are on the high side, but nothing to worry about. Especially in such a stable oil.

I'm currently testing RD30 in my GT500. Using used oil analysis, I will determine how many miles I can use it on the street driven 3-4 days a week. I'm hoping for a 3,000 mile/3 month oil change interval minimum. Anything more than this is a bonus for a racing lubricant.

I dont think I would do it.
At least find a Verado 25W50 spec sheet and compare products first.
From the Mercury website:
Here are the results from a comparison test between Verado Oil and a popular 15W 50 full synthetic oil.
■Verado oil shows significantly better shear stability and volatility, and is higher in viscosity and High Temperature High Shear (HTHS) after shear.
■The popular competitive formulation uses a fair amount of VM (viscosity modifier) which is subject to shear, while the Mercury oil contains no VM. As a result, the Mercury oil will hold its viscosity far better in difficult situations.
■The HTHS after shear follows along with the viscosity stability, which results in improved bearing protection.
■Use of the full synthetic competitive oil resulted in higher oil consumption than the Mercury 25W-50.
