The 0W-20 is Fully-Synthetic = Group IV (PAO) & Group V (Ester).
On the ENEOS website:
"ENEOS Motor Oil 0W20 is blended from high-performance hydrorefined base oils and an optimized additive blend, so it provides much better heat and oxidation stability than regular motor oils blended from solvent-refined base oils."

Synthetic is the USA can be a combination of Group III, IV, V.
So, a combination of Group II, III would be "semi-synthetic"

If I'd have thought about it, I will ask about purchasing some at my dealer next time I do my oil change. 0w20 is scarce on the shelves and expensive. I'll chuckle to myself if It turns out to be cheaper than wally mart, Still got about 3500 miles to go before the next change though. currently using PP5w20
does esso name stil exist i remember my father telling me about that brand from his speedshop days. esso is now exxon isnt it.
0w20 in a toyota is that a hybrid or something... or are they stating for best fuel economy,

Esso is part of ExxonMobil now. I don't remember seeing any Esso station in the US in a long time. I think I have seen them in Canada recently and several European countries.
Edit: Go to esso.com Not what you expected?

Yes, there are still Esso gas stations here in Canada.
Esso IS the Exxon part of ExxonMobil. Former Standard Oil Co. of NJ. Mobil was the Standard Oil Co. of NY. The two former relations remerged to make ExxonMobil. After the 1911 Standard Oil breakup - each company got the right locally to use 'Standard Oil' as a trademark.
Exxon is the brand only used in the USA, since Esso (Eastern States Standard Oil) is only legal in parts of the US that Exxon or Mobil had rights to the 'Standard Oil' trademark. Standard Oil NJ used to use three or more brands (Enco, Humble, E, Carter, etc.) across the USA with the same basic logo to circumvent the laws. A court ruled years ago that Esso sounds like 'SO' => which sounds like Standard Oil acronym, so it cannot be used where they don't have the rights. Exxon has the non-USA rights.
Esso was/is such a well known brand, they kept it alive outside of the USA.
Same reason why BP Marine stations in Ohio are still 'Sohio' or Chevron maintains a 'Standard' station with Chevron graphics in each state they still rights to. 'Caltex' in Asia/Oceania is California Standard/Texaco. The two merged years later anyway to make ChevronTexaco and later just Chevron.
