For oil info I usually visit bobistheoilguy.com.   lots of reliable data and articles about all aspects of lubrication in engines.  

 

FWIW, no engine of mine will get non-detergent, mostly because all modern oils have cleaning qualities as a 'must have' in all the engine manufacturers specs.

 

There is a section in the above web site that is a gold mine of info, I think it's labeled 'motor oil university'.

I would pass on this article as being a resource.  Several inaccuracies.  One of them is the following.  Synthetics most assuredly DO come with detergents added.

 

Quote

Detergent oil is a type of motor oil that contains additives that help keep the engine clean. These additives work to suspend dirt and debris in the oil so they can be flushed out when you change your oil. Synthetic oil, on the other hand, does not contain these additives.
 

 

Another load of inaccuracies.

 

Quote

Detergent oil is a type of oil that is used in the production of laundry detergents and other cleaning products. It is a by-product of the petroleum refining process and is composed of various fatty acids.

 

Sounds like another piece of AI generated drek.
