Chemistry. It is really about the chemistry. And although oil companies say they produce products that are 'backward compatible' it doesn't mean they actually work better. Formulas change almost annually. That said, the countless hours spent in R&D along with road work to find the right recipe will be changed within a year. Now some will say that the product is the same, of better. The thing is, your Grandmothers toll house cookies or the McDonalds fries of the 70's were better then your Wife's gluten-free, fat free, taste free 'cookies' or the new MickyDs fries sans trans fat which are supposed to be better right? Hmmmmm. Combine that with introducing contaminates (less then 20 micron particles create the most wear - that is not much bigger than a white blood cell) and its a recipe for failure.
