i think royal purple is fully synthetic as well amsoil. Mobil one and some of the cheaper ones are just refined organic oils to the point where they can call it synthetic. But its not fully synthetic. Which is why amsoil oil is supose to be good for 25k miles garenteed.

Amsoil's API approved XL series just says: "Beyond 3,000 miles" ...it's group III and not "fully synthetic" like their HP, SS and European Formula series.

Uhhh, ALL oils are organic...

But yes, I agree AMS is far better, though maybe not for almost twice the money.
