BTW most "synthetic" motor oils are still crude oil based. PAO base motor oils are not made from crude. They are "designer" molecules manufactured from ethylene are purer than any crude oil based motor oils. Mobil 1 is a PAO oil as are a few others.

Re: Synthetic oil
I recall some brouhaha many years back regarding the word “synthetic”. As mentioned, the courts or some other regulatory body “loosened” the criteria for what could be considered “synthetic”. Despite all that though, I continue to use “synthetic” Mobil 1.
