IMHO, the biggest cost in motor oil is R&D, licensing, advertising, and additives. the base oil is cheap in comparison, unless we are talking group 4 or group 5 that are used in small amounts even in the "full synthetic." even the group 2 or 3 base oils are disconnected from crude oil price as they are highly refined.
