The misconception that "synthetic oil" is not made from plain old crude oil is very common. The major oil companies that first developed a process that revolutionized how oil is refined are Exxon/Mobil and Chevron, they hold the pateneds to the catalyst that efficently change wax molecules to long chains of very stable hydrocarbon molecules. Exxon/Mobil"s Mobil 1 is produced exclusively by them. All the rest of the synthetic oils on the market are blends from other producers and packagers. I work for the largest Type III base oil refinery in the Northern Hemisphere, it is located in Pt. Arthur, Tx. You can not buy a case of oil at Wal-Mart or anywhere else that doesn"t have at least some oil produced here in Pt. Arthur, unless you buy Mobil 1. All the other "synthetic oil" brands buy some if not most of there oil from us and blend/package it as their own. We use Exxon/Mobil"s catalyst in our reactors and it is very expensive, $10 million. They warrenty it"s performance and have engineers on-site monitoring our start-ups to make sure we don"t damage it. The term "synthetic oil" is misleading, I fully concede that point, but blame a Marketing/Advertising guy for that...It all starts out as crude oil.
