Well, for one thing, aircraft engines (reciprocating) are mostly all 1940s designs.
Are detergent motor oils allowed yet?
Are they now affixing decals to the effect the igntion system can kill you?
or premature engine failure due to the wrong oil.

Well, this isn't documented but a few years ago while running in a national car racing series with a spec motor, the engine builder who did all the motors for the series could tell which ones were running a particular name brand premium-priced oil versus those which weren't. The ones not running that oil needed many more parts replaced at rebuild time.
Anecdotal yes, but that was our practical in-the-field experience.
My brother-in-laws 's second cousin used to warn me about oil threads.
Because they're to much fun. People can get more passionate about oil than the makes and models of the vehicles themselves.
There's nothing more passionate than uninformed/misinformed passion
