SynLube Lube-4-Life is the only TOTALLY synthetic oil. The base stocks used in blending SynLube Lube-4-Life are all pure synthetics that are “chemically constructed”. Actually there are FIVE different synthetic base oils used in the final formulation of the SynLube Lube-4-Life motor oils. There is no petroleum oil used as a “carrier” for additives. Other oil companies (Mobil, CASTROL, etc.) frequently use mineral carrier oils in the additive p
