iirc, mobil 1 at some point in the past switched out the type of base stock they were using (ie. cheaper to save $$) and still said mobil 1 was a true synthetic. There was a lawsuit brought against them by other oil manufactures and mobil won.

The only oil they make that still uses the "better" base stocks to create the finished product is 0w 40. Hence it's consistently better wear analysis vs. other mobil 1 oils overall over many different cars etc.
