You guy and gals are aware that most oils sold in the USA is not synthetic even though it says "full synthetic' on the bottle. The National Ad Board branch of the BBB alowed Castrol to market Syntec as synthetic even though it is just highly refined petroleum oil. Valvoline synpower is not synthetic, M1 5w-30 is not synthetic. You have to import a Euro oil to get a real syn these days. Does it matter? Yes because they are charging you a high price for something that doesnt cost the oil co's much premium to blend over a "plain jane" conventional. You are not getting what you paid for. It's a freaking joke, and its on you.
