True, but most synthetics are blended. Point being, Mobile 1 is a group III oil. Which means that they can say it is fully synthetic, but the fact is the base stock is mineral oil. They only need 30% to be sytnthetic adders. Which is usually hydroisomerized slack wax. True synthetic oils are Group IV and V. Which means they use NO mineral oil.

Now, don't get me wrong. Companies like Pure Power are strictly non-synthetic and their oil is top notch too. It is just what you prefer.
