With all due respect Joshua, the front of the quart reads, "Part Synthetic
Motor Oil". Check it out at your local FLAPS.
The back reads,"�the only synthetic oil engineered with Castrol
conventional oil and Syntec molecular components"
I'm no chemical engineer so I goes on what I reads. Sorry man, this stuffs
a blend accordingto the lableing. How much of what, got no idea.
During a 400 mile drive today thou it helped keep Vinnie in a really cool
way. 98�-101� and the needle never went above it's former dino level (1/2
needle above the led light).
