It was probably trying to puke that junk out so you would put something better in.

There is so much mis/dis information out there on the oil types and systems. Most of it propaganda from the oil makers themselves. It's actually HARD to find a true independent lab test (one that wasn't requested by someone with a stake in the game or a lab with a stake in the game) of oils and claims.
I only know what I've experienced in my own equipment and that's pretty much all I know about them. I have verification of the experience from other owners of similar equipment so I feel confident in what I do as working okay for what I have.
Oddly, those experiences run counter to and in line with some statements already made in this thread and I have no desire to indulge in oil religious discussions. So, I will not go into detail. I will take the wimpy way out:
Change your oil with the factory specified oils at the factory specified intervals and all warranties will remain in place and functioning to protect you. If you choose to deviate from those specifications attempting to save money (one way or the other) you are an adult and are free to do so. We all live with the consequences of our choices on a daily basis.
As for me, my L3200 will be getting a 50hr change with Kubota fluids. I'll pay the outrageous prices just so I can prove to them, if anything goes wrong, that they are on the hook for everything. Once it's out of warranty, I'll switch to the stuff I know works on my other gear.

I decided to go synthetic back when BMW did their own road test on their new model to decide if syn should go in their vehicles from the factory.
They took three cars and drove them continuously with scheduled service intervals to determine when the engines wore to the point they were out of spec.
The test lasted for three years and the cars had near or at one million miles on them before the parts wore out of spec.
As some truckers can attest on their rigs extreme high mileage are attainable with proper maintenance.
I appreciate syn qualities especially in cold weather. The engine runs smoother and quieter with syn.
Dino oil has proven itself over the 100+ years of service. Syn is a more refined oil with better molecular structure that does not break down or shear as dino does.
Which ever you choose the maintenance routine is the most important factor.

And in hot weather as well. I've been using it for over 25 years in cars, trucks, diesel tractors, and motorcycles, but there are those who will go to their graves thinking synthetics are the work of the devil.

Not knocking synthetic oils, but i have hun mobile 1 in my 08 hemi is see new and now have 101k miles. Burns 2 quarts every 5k since 75k when pulling the camper and 1 quart without. Of course that is considered normal by the manufactures. Changed oil at every 5k. Just now run NAPA dingo oil now. Cost too much.
