The bottle says "Full Synthetic". Could it have dino in it and still be cosidered full synthetic? I don't know the answer. But it's on Porsche's approved oil list. That was good enough. Plus, considering all the discussion about the formula change to Mobil 0w40 (most of which appeared to be negative) and the number of folks changing, or considering changing, to something else, that was enough to sway my decision to change.

I don't THINK the price was a special.. although it could have been. I didn't see anything advertised about it.. the clerk just told me about price if i bought filters. Filters were discounted too!
