Today.. there a lots of mixtures of simi-synthetic oils that are GREAT oils. There are also very expensive fully synthetic group 5 ester based oils, and there are single weight junk waxy and sulfur group1 and group2 oils...

You can buy modern single weight oil with additives and detergents, but a multiweight will give superior performance when cold, so there is no practical reason to purchase a single weight detergent oil, and NO reason to purchase a NON detergent oil for engine use.
NON detergent oils are for sewing machines,typewriters, and door hinges.
