I don"t know there is any debate to be resolved. You can use what you want and most guys can"t see any difference with detergent oil. Only guys that might notice a difference in rebuild hours are those still using old Ford stationary engines running day-in/day-out. ND or detergent, my rebuilds will out last me, with any luck anyway.
I can buy ND oil under $1/qt. everyday price. Maybe I could do better shopping sales, dunno. I suppose I could do better buying bulk on sale too.
But none of that changes the fact that detergent oil keeps the abrasives in suspension to be circulated through the bearings and against the seals.
