I thought the site was very clear!

" Defining the term "synthetic lubricant" is becoming more
controversial these days, but in general it refers to a lubricant
or grease whose basestock has been manufactured by
chemical synthesis or organic reaction, as opposed to
being extracted or refined from naturally occurring oils. "

Is there something there you don't understand?

I was just trying to figure out what the difference is and would EP harm the
motor ("EP does not meet current D/C warranty requirements")*, whereas
"regular" Mobil 1 meets D/C new motor warranty requirements.

Thanks for the discussion,

matter. Just inquisitive...wanting to know.
