They are made by whoever will give the cheapest price i.e. to a budget!

They are not proper synthetic oils i.e. ester or pao and are merely hydrocracked mineral oils labelled as synthetic. I'm afraid you get what you pay for!

If you want a decent proper synthetic oil look at Silkolene PRO or Motul 300V (check group buys) this is a far superior oil. A bit like 1st Division vs Local league so don't compare them as the basestocks are completely different.
