Jack's odometer via Dino oil says it all. Guys his age ....

You know, with "age" comes wisdom.
I've spent almost 2 decades in labs and test facilities, developing lubricants of all kinds, including synthetics for a major oil company. What I regularly read about lubricants on several forums makes me laugh and show me how marketing campaigns, advertising and the use of comforting buzz words can influence people and skew their buying power and opinion toward what seems to be (for them) the ultimate products.
During my career, we have tested thousands of lubricants, thousands of miracle recipes, we've tortured engines and transmission like nobody in their right mind would want to replicate in real life, we ran thousands of fleet tests with all sorts of oils, we've worked with hundreds of engineers at Ford, Chrysler, GM, Toyota, Honda BMW and all others.
How about running a real Nascar race car with recycled Dino oil? We've done it with no problem.
When was the last time you heard about an engine problem due to engine oil breakdown. When was the last time you heard of a premature engine failure due to poor lubrication? (assuming prescribed oil change intervals were adhered to.)
One word of wisdom: Change you oil as prescribed, use the recommended grade for the driving conditions and buy
whatever make available that fits your budget.
If a $1.99/qt engine oil meets the above, you're OK.
