it's not about cheap or expensive.
it's about the oil's base stock/additives, basically overall formulation being capable of meeting the majority of engine requirements.
and how can we tell if an oil meets (or do not meet) the required standards etc? manufacturer claims? all manufacturer are out there to make a profit. no one would be stupid enough to say how their oil is bad.
that's where 3rd party licensing/certification such as the API (able to publicly query their directory), ILSAC, ACEA and JASO etc are there to help govern/give end users an assurance that a product is up to par.
reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil
and YES, there ARE CHEAP full synthetic products that are API SN certified!

What credit do I have here? I use cheap oil. Recently migrated to DIESEL oil. Pardon my ignorance, ady on my 3rd oil change it's about the oil's base stock/additives, basically overall formulation being capable of meeting the majority of engine requirements.
