I too have spent too much time on Bobistheoilguy.com, but I have learned one thing. Additives are whats most important if you use a reasonable oil change interval. The major categories of additives are anti wear additives, which consist mostly of moly, phosphorus, zinc. Second are the detergent/anti-oxidants which are mainly calcium and magnesium.
Look at the VOA (virgin oil analysis) thread on bob. You will see that deisel oils (chevron delo, rotella, etc)have much higher quantities of the above additives than almost all car oils, synthetics included.
This is because EPA has restricted anti-wear additives in car oil, but not deisel oil.
I use Delo 400. Its cheap and looking at the numbers, much better than mobil and castrol synth.
