The true Synthetic oils are Mobil 1, Redline, Liqui-Moly, OWS, Motul, or any oil that says it's made from Ester stocks. The new Havoline 5W-40 might be a true synthetic but I'm not sure. Shell and Castrol are not real synthetics although they claim to be. They are made from Group 3 stocks which are mineral oil based.
