Oil performance really is a long, deep rabbit hole. Unless you really want to get technical on it, or your engine is operating significantly outside its design parameters (heavily tuned/modified), just find an oil which is certified for your engine (eg LL-01 or LL-04 ,etc) and carry on. That's not to say that non-certified oils couldn't be better; it's just an easy way to be sure that the oil you choose will be good enough to keep your engine running properly for a long time. Don't cheap out, but also don't over-think it.
