what synthetic oil
ENEOS USA
Food for thought, but Mobil 1 is no longer a full synthetic. M1 is using group III base oils now.
Group I = mineral oil with the least amount of processing / refining
Group II = mineral oil with more processing / refining
Group III = mineral oil processed / refined to have viscosity index comparable to group IV
Group IV = polyalphaolefins made from natural gas
Group V = other
In the US, group III, IV, and V can be marketed as "synthetic".
