Frankly I've given up on the "true" versus "fake" synthetic debate. The industry has decided that Group IIIs are synthetic, and my opinion will not change that. Sort of like punching a brick wall because you believe it shouldn't exist - just gets you bloody knuckles.
Eventually I accept that what is...is.

I agree.
I remember hearing that the original formulation (Has it changed?) of Castrol SYNTEC back in 2002 (When i had my BMW) actually wasnt "Synthetic" at all.. so i just went with MaxLife and was done with it.
