I've seen this subject come up before, and it reminds me of the attitude of a late friend of mine. He bought his two theatres from his father in-law, and acquired many of his maintenance habits from him as well.
For all the years he was in the business, he used non-detergent automotive oil in his intermittents, purchased at the local auto parts shop.
While I understand the motives here, and read the posts with interest, I can't help but imagine that my friend would comment that there had been car oil in his machines since they were new (in 1947), and they're still in service today... running just fine. I wouldn't do it, but it would be hard to argue the point with him.

(I shoot AMSOIL 5w30 in my vehicles and love the stuff)
AMSOIL - pure synthetic product www.amsoil.com
When I bought my gallon of 5w30 from a dealer, he right off knew that I was planning on keeping my car for as long as I can..
Their tranny oils, fluids and greases are great as well ..
Yes, stay away from additives, for at one time, the auto retail supply places use to stock tons of this stuff, including Slick 50, Energy Release, Duralube, ...et.al. Now, they have all but disappeared..
