What is the logic behind that statement? How could one build an engine to only work with a blend?

I hit "submit" a little too soon. So anyway, engine parts are still engine parts, it produces the same heat, so if it's all the same, I don't see how this statement holds water.

Rotary engines are SPECIFICALLY designed to use conventional oil... They need conventional because it burns much easier and can lubricate the rotor seals better...
