Good oil for older cars with no timing chain or turbo.
For those, if you want 300,000 miles, get an API SQ rated oil. Proven to extend engine life with those components, as well as others to a lesser degree.
You can very easily get full synthetic Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum for ~5 bucks more without a rebate at WM. Or with a rebate about $15 right now.

One of my vehicles has over 300,000 mi on it and I've never cared what oil I put in it just so long as it got an oil change every 3 to 4,000 miles But it ends up being about 10W30 weight in the end. Other vehicles have come and gone and this one just chugs on without a knock or hesitation. Transmission I replaced multiple times.....

Okay, that's called survivor bias. API wouldn't be engineering new oil standards if engines weren't struggling to last that long still.

Obviously no oil can guarantee a longevity. SQ can document that it adds newer detergents shown to extend longevity.
People who just swap cars at 100k/150k aren't likely to be impacted. The auto makers don't care about cars after that point. The oil industry does, because they don't want people switching to EVs out of frustration at today's excessively difficult to repair cars.

I have a 1993 Bronco 5.8 w/ 272k on the odometer, 2002 Mustang GT w/ 198k, and a 2012 Escape XLT w/ nearly 186k. All have gotten the recommended oil at recommended intervals. All have timing chains. All are running fine - none need or will benefit from SQ oil, as none of the motors were manufactured w/ such tight tolerances as to need SP oil.
For everyone else, I changed the Escape's oil and filter less than 2 hours ago, and used this oil from the last deal posted. It's name brand, it's a Syn Blend, if it meets your car's specs you should have zero issues.

Nope. Start out with a well designed engine and maintain 3K to 5K OCI, depending on city or highway miles. All of my cars run on dirt cheap API SE or SF oil (5W30, 10W30, 10W40, or 20W50) for more than 60K miles. All cars made it past 270K miles before sold. Compression is at least 72% of maximum, plus or minus 3% among the four cylinders. Mostly Fram or Wally World oil filters.
Hydrodynamic lubrication occurs when there is adequate oil pressure and mass flow rate. Having clean oil is an essential bonus to control deposit build ups as the engine age. This stuff causes stuck piston rings, chain tensioner, stretched timing chains, etc.... The rest is just marking BS.
Most engine wear occurs at the intake due to unfiltered silica/dirt. All engines will develop air leaks at the intake due to the use of plastic and rubber components.
