Also, there is no entity that regulates what can be advertised on an oil container.

Mobil 1 is a full synthetic like Amsoil. They use to be 1/2 and 1/2 but they changed there ways once tests were showing poor results for long term. Remember when it use to be Tri-Synthetic? That was when it wasn't a full synthetic.
But I use Amsoil since it is the best oil you can get for your money.
Plus I am a Amsoil dealer

I've used Mobile 1 religiously in my girlfriend's CL type S, my Supra TT, as well as my current G. My supra was a 93 TT with 90K on her and she ran like a champ. Most forums you go to will say the same.

What's the best Synthetic Oil ?
Let me start by saying, Mobil I is a full synthetic oil! It says so on the label.
It "really" doesn't matter which synthentic you use as long as you keep an
eye on the condition of the oil. If it looks dirty, change it!
My previous ride was a '92 300Z that I put well over 125,000 miles on. I
used Mobil I and changed oil and filter every 2,000 miles. It was a great
car and with all those miles on it I never had to add oil between changes.
I also never saw smoke at startup either. Hope this gives you some idea
of what you need to be doing......

That's right. My father's 911 Turbo requires 0W30, which is most commonly found overseas. Your not gonna find it on the shelves at your local auto parts shop. It usually has to be ordered.
It's great, because it obviously SUPER thin and is perfect for cold starts.
