Even with synthetic oils it's a wash. Or, the cost of a replacement engine is very high. With an aircraft engine rebuild running $10,000 and up, you can bet I used to analyze by airplane's oil. Especially with a time history you can get early warning of bearing failure when the bearing metals like zinc or molybdenum spike up in the analysis.
