synthetic oil is not synthetic!
Literally, there is no such thing as synthetic oil.
The term "synthetic" means the oil is a higher quality crude oil distillate than the typical oil. it all comes from crude oil.
Most synthetic-anything is made from something off the crude oil distillation stack in some way or another. Hydrocarbons are a big part of modern life...

Mobil 1 is a blend of synthetic and dino oils. It was originally a pure synthetic, but Mobil successfully lobbied to continue using the 'synthetic' description while changing the formulation to a blend.
