Castrol not a true synthetic !!

Sorry! While Castrol Syntec is a much better oil than dino, it is not made
from a true synthetic base like a Mobil 1, Amsoil or Redline. Castrol
takes it's petroleum oil & hydrocracks it to produce more uniformly shaped molecules. Mobil 1 took Castrol to court over this deception, but court
ruled Castrol could call it synthetic.
Hydrocracking makes a petroleum base an even better product. Chevron does this with their Delo oils for diesel.
