In the mid 1960s Chevron U.S.A was the first to market and produce a complete range of 100% synthetic Polyalphaolefins based lubricants, which began to be marketed as a substitute for mineral oils for engine lubrication. Although in use in the aerospace industry for some years prior, synthetic oil first became commercially available in an API-approved formula for automobile engines when standards were formalized for synthetic based lubricants.
Other early synthetic motor oils marketed included NEO Oil Company (formally EON) in 1970, which were dibasic acide esters, or diesters, and polyol esters based synthetic lubricants, and still today use these high end foundation for lubricants. In 1971 All-Proof now called Redline; followed fourth by Amsoil who packaged and resold a diester-based 10W40 grade from Hatco in 1972, and then Mobil 1, introduced in North America in 1974 (with a PAO-based 5W20 grade)...
...MOTUL introduced the first semi-synthetic motor oil in 1966.

Cincy, where you been? You can't find any synthetic (unless it's walmart 5 qt jug) for under $6 a quart any more.

It is suppose to be great oil. I wouldnt spend more than $6/qt for oil personally. Dont know how much it retails for.

If you say too many inaccurate things, you lose credibility.
