Non detergent oil is recomended for the splash lube engine becuase unlike detergent oil it won"t have finest grit suspended in it to increase wear on bearings- especially rod bearings. Lots of the crud will fall to bottom of oil pan and stay as semi liquid mud until oil change. Ball bearings happy with splash of oil, but if they get valve polishing compound in the oil or its equivalent, they will wear faster. Piston to cylinder wear is same situation- detergent oil with fine suspension will have greater wear. First run in with non detergent and then frequent oil change to flush initial wear in crud will get longer life. W30 detergent at 25 hours or less after breakin non detergent is factory recommended- may as well do what design engineer said. ALTHOUGH 15-40 diesel spec in summer does seem to work in many small engines and motorcycles and is often used in garden tractors by people with 15-40 used in large tractors and older trucks, cars, /2 BMWs.
