Just like Castrol Syntec - legally they can CALL it a synthetic oil, but it isn't synthesized, as real synthetic oils are from smaller building blocks to make a VERY uniform base oil. A base oil that is much more stable than regular petroleum oil or the hydrotreated/hydrocracked products in Shell rotella T 5-40. I'm not saying this oil is urine, but you pay for what you get for the most part...
