Besides detergent, the modern oil also contains a bunch of slippery additives (perhaps more if SF or SJ than SM) and anticorrosion additives that help keep the silver and copper bearing inserts from being eaten away by the moisture in the oil that makes the bearing to shaft space into a battery.

Running straight weights I believe had a lot to do with 30s to 50s vintage car engine needing overhauls at 35K intervals. Primarily because its poorer lubrication, the build up of sludge, and the corrosion of the copper bearing metal.

Car engines running 100K without a tuneup depends a lot on the better quality oil these days with good filters.
