Detergent oil has added chemicals to clean and control sludge formation. Non-detergent is plain oil. Unless you have a really old engine that hasn't been apart for 50 years you want to use detergent oil.

What is the difference between laundry detergent and synthetic detergent?
That's a question of semantics. With very few exceptions, all laundry detergent is "synthetic". Detergent is generally made up of a few kinds of ingredients: an oil basedsurfactant (cleaner), specially built protein enzymes (enhanced stain removers ), preservatives, coloring agents and perfume. Some detergents don't bother with the stain removers and just rely on the hot water and alkaline action (like with baking soda) to clean the laundry. In any case, if you are looking for an organic (read: NOT synthetic) laundry detergent, you are looking for something like Seventh Generation. It is made from palm oil based surfactants, is not dyed and has what constitutes a "natural" fragrance in this country.
