Virtually all modern multi-weight oils are detergent oils. Detergent oil, cleans the soot of the internal engine parts and suspends the soot particles in the oil. The particles are too small to be trapped by the oil filter and stay in the oil until you change it. These particles are what makes the oil turn darker. These tiny particles do not harm your engine. When the oil becomes saturated with soot particles and is unable to suspend any more, the particles remain on the engine parts. Fortunately, with the current oil change intervals the oil is changed long before the oil is saturated.

Nondetergent oils are the cheapest oils on the market. Non-detergent oil, such as SAE 30, is not used in modern engines. It is still used in some gasoline engines such as lawnmowers. It suspends very little of the small particles and they remain on the engine parts and accumulate in all areas of the engine.
