Garry, it says on the label that "Magnatec combines Intelligent Molecules with synthetic technology for a stronger protection...." so what do you make of it? Semi synthetic or just marketing hype? Anyway I've always used Magnatec, and I wish this thread came out before I bought the expensive Mobile 1 despite the on-special price.
