Re: Oil type
'Some' is, most that claim the label aren't.
The 'real' ones took the fakes to court, but the word 'synthetic' covers
too broad a spectrum so the cracked petroleum products or 'fake'
synthetics can use it.
Then you have snake oil like amsoil that will void an engine warranty
because it can't get the approval the vehicle manufacturer's demand.

Re: Oil type
That's the problem the Society of Automotive Engineers have. You
may see the fight they have put up over the use of the word, synthetic
as used on petroleum refined to "basestocks":
http://www.1st-in-synthetics.com/articles7.htm as defined by one of the
industries' competitors.

I run only 100% synthetic oil, 0 W 30 in my TJ and Crown Vic. Only
synthetic oil is used in turbine engines. Dino oil breaks down ,and
cannot take the heat. If it can stand the rpm's turned by turbines and
not fail that tells me its far superior to dino oil.
