Something interesting.. I dunno if it is related or how?
I happen to own the world's fastest lawnmower. (I think I'm serious about that claim, actually.)
It is an ExMark Turf Tracer. It has the sulky and you have to be Jackie Chan to ride it.
It is driven by two hydraulic motors and a pump.. On the side of the hydraulic tank it has a sticker that says: Use Mobil One 15W50 ONLY.
Again with the oil magic and that particular brand and grade of oil?

It has a high viscosity and 1300ppm of zinc. It wont break down like a 5-10w30. Years ago (20-30 now) you were either a 5.0 Mustang dude or a Grand National guy. All of my GN buddies all ran Mobil 1 15w50. They all swore by that sauce back in the day. It was and still is a great oil.

15W50
Phos: 1200
Zinc: 1300
Boosted,higher viscosity, advanced full synthetic formula designed for performance vehicles.
For high HT/HS applications. Racing and Flat tappet applications.
So, even they make mention of the Flat Tappet.
I dunno that everyone needs these levels of those two additives on the street.. But I infer from that, that they do matter.

-- chilled.... I guess 540 RAT was right -
...there are usually a few guys who don’t want to engage in a normal discussion, and immediately get nasty, insulting...

What some industry pros have observed....

Any oil is way better than good enough and better than most oils available in 1986....although synthetic oil definitely did exist in 1986.
Use the recommended oil or better (5w/30) and change at the proper intervals...your engine will cruise right on by 300,000 miles easy.

Guys, just for additional info, the Callaway B2k does not have the stock oil pump either. It has a very high pressure unit...one know for sheering off distributor gears. It takes a hardened steel unit to last any time at all.
