Sure, the old tractor engine does not NEED the fancy oil, but it is still no waste. With extended drainage intervals the costs are pretty well the same even if you do it yourself, and even more so if you pay a garage for servicing.

You also seem to miss one important advantage: convenience. One-half of one-third the frequency of oil changes and less need for flame trap degunking need that much less time.

Such other benefits as less oil to dispose of may not appeal to everyone, but a marginal increase in the engine's willingness to rev and start in the cold would.
