Accordingly, one would assume that Mobil 1 is NOT pure synthetic.
The introduction paragraph reads: "I am not a lubrication, filtering, chemical or mechanical engineer. I have a degree in engineering, but I studied electrical engineering. I now study physics. You may feel free to question my abilities to gather facts and draw conclusions in the area of oils and filters. In any case, this is a write up of what I learned in about 75 hours of research on this topic. My only interest is having my motorcycle run forever, never break, and be easy to maintain." Based on his admitted lack of knowledge about the subject, I give virtually no credence to the remaining conclusions in the article.

So do more research and reach your own conclusions. I can tell you he is accurate in the descriptions of the oil make-up.
