Ok, here is the scoop. Non-detergent oils are still produced for 2 reasons: air compressors and hydraulics. they can be used in engines, but not required. Don't let anyone tell you different. If they do, it is a bunch of unfounded crap. i could go into the history of lubricating oil, and when the SAE and HD certifications were added. Detergent oil is an improvement, but it should not be used in air compressors and/or hydraulic systems.
any internal combustion 4 stroke engine should use HD (detergent) oil. Brand of your choice. Multi-vis or straight weight. doesn't matter. 10-30 or straight 30 weight. once again, your choice.
What is the most important is that you change the oil regularly as appropriate for the usage. Whether you use Mobil One or k-mart special, it won't make one hoot if you run it dry or dirty.
If you ask me what I use, it is Wolf's head, straight weight. SAE HD 30 in the summer, and SAE HD 10 in the winter in my Farmalls.
