When did engines start using high detergent oils?

Posted by Richardin52 on January 03, 2010 at 18:43:17 from (24.39.46.126):

My son has an old Willys jeep. He just told me he blew the motor in it because he was using high detergent oil and it should have been non detergent oil. The jeep was built late 50's.

I just checked my owners Manuel for my 1970's Farmall 140 and it does not mention anything about using none or high detergent oil.

Anybody know the story on high detergent oil?
