yeah, i'm familiar w/ the definition. what i was actually looking for, tho i didn't specify too well, was what are the compounds which make up synthetic oil? how is it made and how is the manufacturing process different from that of dino oil.

and you're going to ask a bunch of truck guys a question like that? might try some sort of chemists board or something.
yep. some of the other guys on here are pretty smart dudes.

the base oils are what make them different. the additive packages aren't that different.
dino oil base stock comes out of the ground...........
synthetic oil base stock come out of a labratory test tube...........and how and what are in it is probably a trade secret.

Instead of the real dinosaurs they use those plastic ones to make it.

They modify comventional oil and arange the molculesto give it alayering effect like 2 lines drawn next to each other verses conventional oils which are not uniform in they molecular structure and there fore break down and disperse under lower heat temps than conventianal oils. There is more but I hate describing things.
I am pretty sure all that is correct or is what I was taught when Mobil One and Amzoil came out years ago. they had us take training classes to try and push selling the stuff and getting it into the market.

theres no conventional oil in a synthetic base oil.

yeah, i'm pretty curious, so that would be pretty cool.
