I'm not sure it's a scam because it is refined further to make the molecules more equal in size.It flows better in cold temps and can with stand much high operating temps. It has definite benefits. But each manufacturer seems to have their own definition of synthetic. BMW oil is made by Shell which brands some of their oil as Pennzoil -made from natural gas.However that makes it different. It must be group three,I would think.
