I don't know the price of various "Synthetic Oils" in Kuwait, in US the price of M1, PP ... is about $5/qt in 5-qt jug at Walmart.
Conventional oil such as PYB is about $3/qt in 5-qt jug, so the cost of "Faked Synthetic" is only about 60% more. You think that since it's a "Faked Synthetic" we should be charged $3.50-4.00 a quart for M1 ? If that's the case then why bother buying conventional oil in the first place.
