For me its based on quality, it runs like water compared to the oil I use, once I had a dealership change the oil on my Dodge with a Case/Cummings engine, that one had both a stock and a mechanical oil gauge, right off I seen the oil pressure was 15 lbs lower, drove home 90 miles stepped out and smelled oil, looked under it to see oil dripping out the breather tube, called the place who changed it and asked what oil they put in, fired it back up drove it in my shop dropped it and the filter and replaced with my oil never again did it drip out the breather tube and my oil pressure went back to norm,,, had some left over in a barrel my Dad had bought so i tried once to use it up by lubing chains with it, it would stay on maybe 5 min,, I had been using the HD engine oil I use before and it was good for at least two hours on, I can feel the major diff in the two just by rubbing it between my fingers,, it may be just fine in a truck engine as they only use 40 to 50% crank loads,, tractor use up to 100% crank loads there are different additives for each crank load as well as oilspecs, oil is not all the same when it comes out of the ground, I guess being around the oil fields here all my life I may have better insight to things,, I will not even go into the cranks I have seen damaged by running it,, was the engines still running Yep they were but the bearing damage and blueing of the cranks tells me the real facts,, again if you use it and like it thats all good with me,, its not my equipment to have a say, I have to run what I feel is the best for me and my bottom line, the correct oil, grease and filters are Cheap,, parts and repairs, downtime is not cheap,, again this is my opinion from what I see, I do look a lot harder at many things than most do, I guess that comes from being a dealer, service/repair, owner and operator for over 50 years and yes I do things many feel is unnecessary, hope I answered your question,,
