I dont know whether there is any difference between one fully synthetic oil and another, I know that some semi synthetic oils are simply hydrocracked mineral oils and ok for light duty use. I use Mobil 1 by choice but it is expensive compared to almost any other fully synthetic oil.
I am encouraged by a story told to me by a BMW dealer. One of his customers chose to ignore the warning light system and always changed his oil early and always brought in his own 5 liters of Mobil 1. The mechanics regarded him as a bit of a joke. He had a 6 cylinder 5 series. the miles went on to 200,000+, the head gasket went. The head was lifted and the mechanics ate their own words. The bores were like new and the valve guides showed zero wear.
My position is that if you are keeping a car for some years put the best oil in that you can afford, and especially a synthetic.
