RE: A guy I worked with...

Without confirming your test results I'd say it's all about marketing. Mobil 1 has been doing it for 40 years so they have had a long time to drill it in. Just the same as the lubricating oil companies promoted 3000 mile oil changes in the days when plain mineral oil was predominant.
In spite of all that you can't deny that just about any synthetic motor oil that meets manufacturer standards these days is heads above. I know most will cringe but if you look at studies of Walmart Supertech motor oil you'll see is is a quality lubricant.
Schaffner used to be one of the best synthetics because of the high quality base stock used but they never pursued manufacturer certification. I don't know if Red Line does either.
Amsoil I regard as smoke & mirrors because of the pyramid scheme it is.
