it has more additives that protect your engine in harsher conditions like an ass wupping at the track vs regular oil
and its made for fleet vehicles so harsh conditions are kept in mind by the ppl who make it. i think additives account for 25%of the bottle where diesel it will be like 33% additives
the big reason it became popular is cause of its zinc content (which may have been diminished in their newer bottles) zinc is really good for protecting from metal on metal contact
its also high in phosporous which idk much about but its good for your engine
and both these things will ruin the catalytic converter
its also usually cheaper to get a jug of diesel vs a jug of even the cheapest 5qt of standard oil
basically the good stuff is slowly getting removed from oil to meet emissions standards. since diesel is a step behind as far as emissions go they tend to be higher in concentrations of things like zinc
zinc ZINC zinc
