Oil has change big time... over the years... from old base oil that sludge up to new modern oils that can go 10,000 mile between changes.
Engines used to require a valve job at 50 to 60k and a over haul at 60 to 80k with old oils. Now engine can run to 250k with modern oils.
However you can still buy cheap oil, good oil and excellent oils. In recent years lots of engines had problems with the oil passages gunking up with middle oils and caused lots of problems with sludge and ruined the engines early. Changing those to high performance oils solved the problem. High performance oils dont allow wear, dont allow sludge, dont produce acids, dont allow dry cold starts, and many other things through the additives and processing of the oil.
bottom line buy an oil the meets or exceeds the spec and you will be fine. saving 10 bucks a year on cheap oil will cost you $3000 dollars later.
