It may be an unanswerable question, but what oil has the most technology at the moment. Is the nature gas oil new technology from pennzoil? Or maybe some of the extended change intervals from Mobil 1? Also what about the new 0w20-30 weights for advanced fuel economy?
Most advanced oil on the shelf?

Compressor oils. If you have to ask how much, you can't afford them.
Pennzoil Ultra definitely
I'm no expert, but I'd say the most advanced is definitely Pennzoil Platinum & Ultra Platinum since they are formed from natural gas. My "second-best" advanced would probably be Mobil 1 Extended Performance or Castrol Edge Extended Performance. It's amazing how long you can run those oils & they hold up just fine!
Define what you mean by "most advanced". To me that means the Quaker State Ultimate Durability oils.
Without knowing the application and specific use case, it's unanswerable.

Yeah, need to know what "advanced" means. There are plenty of motorcycle race oils that are in the $19/L range and some are 95+% PAO...
Some pretty impressive turbine oils too...

CATERHAM Blend is probably most advanced IMO.
ACEA E6, long drain - mid SAPS.

On 'paper', barely any additives - approx. 1200ppm Ca; 700ppm mag; a bit of moly and boron, and guaranteed to do 15k...and doesn't shear out of grade even in GDI applications. Impressive stuff.

Agreed. Different oils are formulated for different purposes in order to meet specific requirements that are relevant to a given application. It's not necessarily that one oil is better than the other. They are just different.

Easy as this is dependent on the vehicle in question.
Without the vehicle, conditions of use, climate etc the engine oil recommendation is useless, meaningless and chasing the elusive butterfly of love.
