My understanding is that if as little as 10% of the oil is "sysnthetic" it can be called synthetic.

Obviously, as an Amsoil Dealer, I'd like you to consider using Amsoil. We have a Synthetic 0w-30 that can be used for 17,500 miles(or one year) miles under severe conditions. Our Synthetic 5w-30 is good for 15,000 miles(or one year) under severe conditions. Many other oils are good for OEM only drain intervals under these conditions. Check the fine print on the other labels.
Amsoil can save you time, money and create less waste oil due to oil changes and it burns off at a lower rate then other oils.

Check out my dealer page at TruLube.com. for more information

No it can be 0% synthetic and be called synthetic due to NAB ruling of Mobil v. BP ( Castrol) in the late 1990's. The Synthetic Amsoils are real synthetic, and the SSO is super special.
