All those Cigarette ads. I may sign up for a correspondence course at NRI in CB radio repair. That's where the real money is. Then I can afford to buy one of those Bradly GT kits to put on a VW Bug chassis. I'll be fighting off the ladies.
Danno said:Just like Mobile says, Mobile 1 states their "synthetic" oil is nothing more then highly refined mineral oil. Mobile 1 is made from oil and the Mobile 1 sold in the USA could not legally be branded Synthetic in Germany.
In Germany synthetic means something other then oil, in the USA synthetic means "performs essentially like synthetic"
Bottom line, in the USA, synthetic or conventional are mineral oils. The words "Full Synthetic Oil" simply means highly refined enough to perform the same as synthetic, BTW some conventional are better at preventing wear then some synthetics and they are all rated with the same API SN.
Full Synthetic PCMO in the US is usually taken to mean the incorporation of a mix of API Group III, synthesized PAO Group IV, and a small amount of synthesized Group V base oils.
