I have read the link that described the tests and results but I am concerned that it might not be legitimate. It is not on a corporate website and like this board, anyone can write whatever they want, whenever they want. I can't imagine that Exxon Mobil Corporation would change the formulation without making it public knowledge. I would think that the Fed's would take a dim view of one of the largest corporations in the world putting something in a can and selling it under false pretenses. Perhaps I am missing something?

The Fed allows fake synthetics to lable themselves as synthetics. Castrol is the prime violator via a court order. They sell crude oil that is refined twice and call it synthetic. Castrol is fake and now it looks like Mobil is too. Amsoil and Royal Purple are real synthetics.

True Synthetic? Look for the letters PAO on the label.

--- Synthetic Oils are made from Natural Gas.

--- Non-Synthetic Oil's are made from Crude Oil.

Read my earlier post 11/08/2006 at 11:35:24 in this thread.

AMSOIL = "Genuine Synthetic PAO Formulated" Motor Oils
--- What determines a 100% TRUE SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL ---

Thank You.

My findings: over a two year period, 3 different samples (different viscosities), of Mobil1 EP showed the main base oil to be Group III basestock when analyzed with modern gas chromatograph equipment. The results were reviewed by third parties to confirm the results.

Furthermore, the foreign Mobil1 website clearly states that various grades of Mobil1 are Group III (Hydrocracked) / Group IV (PAO) blend.

My research determined that almost all of the Mobil1 and Mobil1 EP viscosities probably contain a significant amount of Group III basestocks.

The only Mobil1 motor oils that appear to be PAO and have not changed their formulation are Delvac1 diesel engine oil and the Mobil1 Motorcycle oil. All others are suspect.

I live in Texas not far from the refinery region. I read that Mobil's primary synthetic oil refinery in the gulf was damaged by hurricane katrina so they changed their oil formula to a fake synthetic while the facility was down. Once they realized the public would still buy M1 even though it was a fake synthetic, they decide to keep it that way because the profit margins are higher.

Shame Shame Shame on Mobil

Are you of the opinion that there are still two camps, each believing in the double or triple helix structure? ,
